Which node type does not deploy a Nutanix Controller VM. A bit confused with documentations available some say “Compute only” and other say “All Flash”

One more question 

A vDisk is read by multiple VMs. The cluster creates immutable copies of the vDisk. What are these vDisk copies called.

Best answer by Gus

ANY Nutanix node will always deploy a CVM. A CVM is the heart of Nutanix and that’s where the Nutanix software runs. Regardless of node type, a CVM will always be there in any node.

Hi @Gus be sure to review the Nutanix Bible for a more in depth explanation of the architecture.
