Which are three supported deployment solutions for NetApp StorageGRID?

• A. StorageGRID hardware appliances, ESXi, Kubernetes
• B. StorageGRID hardware appliances, ESXi, Docker
• C. StorageGRID hardware appliances, Hyper-V, Docker
• D. StorageGRID software on Linux, Docker

Answer: (B)

StorageGRID is designed to be deployed in different form factors to fit various environments, with three main supported deployment paths: hardware appliances, VMware ESXi virtualization, and Docker container deployment. The hardware appliance option provides a turnkey system with the StorageGRID software preinstalled on NetApp hardware, delivering a straightforward setup and optimized performance. Deploying StorageGRID on VMware ESXi allows you to run the software as a virtual machine within your existing virtualization cluster, leveraging familiar VM tooling, scalability, and resource management. The Docker option enables containerized deployment, offering portability, rapid provisioning, and ease of orchestration in container-enabled workflows or edge environments. The other options either introduce platforms not officially supported for StorageGRID deployment or omit a valid deployment path, so the combination of hardware appliances, ESXi, and Docker best matches the documented deployment models.
