Nutanix Containers (Storage or Default)

Well database workloads (or transactual workloads) are typically placed in a storage container without any optimizations. (no compression). 

But nowadays it doesnt really matter where you put the workloads. Just create a storage policy to disable the optimizations and attache that to the virtual machine. 

I'm more and more removing the default storage container and place everything in the selfservice storage container. (enable inline compression on that storage container) And for the exotic workload I create a storage policy to set their requirements. 

Thanks for the explanation. I understand your point about moving toward a policy-based design rather than relying on container-level optimization.

In my case, I’m using Community Edition, where advanced storage policy features may be limited compared to enterprise deployments.

Would you still recommend consolidating everything into a self-service container and controlling behavior purely through storage policies in CE, or would workload isolation through separate containers still be the safer design approach?

Well CE is for labs ;) So yes, also do it there. 

So Can you Explain Why Need to use Self-service Container instead of Default Container or Separate container for the Whole Nutanix Database management and Automation Course?
