Issue/Introduction

Design Decision: Configure vSAN in All-Flash mode in the shared edge and workload cluster.

Resolution

Design Justification:
- Provides support for vSAN deduplication and compression.
-  Meets the performance needs of the shared edge and workload cluster.

Using high speed magnetic disks in a hybrid vSAN configuration can provide satisfactory performance and is supported.

Design Implication: More disks might be required per host because flash disks are not as dense as magnetic disks.

This design decision is supported in the following Domains. 
•    Management Domain
•    VI Workload Domain

This design decision is supported on VCF version 4.1 and higher.
