In conclusion, it is fairly easy to set up a VSAN cluster. A carefully thought out design helps to take it to the next level and to get the best out of VSAN. At a granular level, getting the right composition of disk groups catering to the workload type is of utmost importance, followed by infrastructure-level optimizations. Disaster recovery and backup solutions aim to provide additional resiliency and mitigate any catastrophic failures that may occur.

In the next chapter, we will closely assess the utilities that would aid in closer introspection of the VSAN infrastructure for sustained monitoring and enhancements catering to the specific workloads.
