A. B. C. D.C.
The Cisco router (IR) and switch (IE) portfolio supports edge data services through the use of Cisco IOx, which allows edge data services to be run and managed as containers.
A. Option A is the correct answer. Cisco IOx is a software platform that runs on Cisco Industrial Ethernet (IE) and Integrated Services Router (ISR) devices. It allows edge data services to be run and managed as containers, which are lightweight, standalone executables that contain everything needed to run the service, including the code, runtime, system tools, libraries, and settings. This makes it easy to deploy and manage edge data services on Cisco routers and switches, without the need for additional hardware or software.
B. Option B is incorrect. Edge data services can run in containers using Cisco IOx, and do not require a separate compute layer or virtual machines.
C. Option C is incorrect. Edge data services are not aliases for IR/IE configuration services, but rather are standalone applications that run on the edge devices.
D. Option D is incorrect. Edge data services can run as containers using Cisco IOx, and do not require separate instances or virtual machines.
