In NSX-T 2.4 the NSX-T Manager is a Converged Appliance where Policy, Management and Control Roles are available Reference: http://www.cloudxtreme.info/nsx-t-manager-clustering/

NSX-T Data Center is a network virtualization and security platform that allows you to create, manage, and secure virtualized networks. NSX Manager is a component of NSX-T Data Center that provides a centralized management interface for the NSX-T environment. NSX Manager provides several roles that define different levels of access and functionality.

The three NSX Manager roles are as follows:

  1. Manager: This role is responsible for managing the NSX-T environment. The manager role provides a web-based user interface that allows administrators to configure and manage the NSX-T environment.

  2. Policy: The policy role is responsible for managing policy-based automation of network and security services. The policy role provides a declarative approach to configuring and managing NSX-T. With the policy role, administrators can define intent-based policies that describe the desired state of the NSX-T environment, and NSX-T will automatically configure the environment to meet those policies.

  3. Controller: The controller role is responsible for managing the network control plane. The controller role provides a distributed control plane that manages the state of the NSX-T environment. The controller role also provides logical routing and switching services, as well as distributed firewall and load balancing services.

Note that the other answer options mentioned in the question are not NSX Manager roles, but rather different components or functionalities of NSX-T:

  • Zookeeper is a distributed coordination service used by the NSX-T Manager cluster to maintain configuration consistency.
  • Cloud refers to the NSX-T integration with cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure.
  • Master is not a specific NSX Manager role, but may refer to the NSX Manager node that has been elected as the primary node in a high availability configuration.
