What is the purpose of Epsilon?

Answer options

• A. to monitor cluster health
• B. to be used as a load-balancer for a 2-node cluster
• C. to evaluate the differences in node configurations
• D. to be used as a tie-breaker for a cluster quorum

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Epsilon is utilized as a tie-breaker in scenarios where there is a split in node votes, ensuring a quorum can still be achieved. The other options describe functions that are not the primary purpose of Epsilon, such as monitoring health or load balancing, which are handled by different components in a cluster.
