What is the maximum number of APIC Clusters that Panorama can support?

The maximum number of APIC clusters that Panorama can support is 16. This limit is established based on the design and architecture of Panorama, which is intended to provide centralized management for multiple devices and clusters within the data center environment. By supporting 16 APIC clusters, Panorama can effectively manage a significant number of endpoints while ensuring that performance and operational efficiency are maintained. This design choice allows organizations to scale their environments while centralizing control and monitoring capabilities.

Supporting more than this maximum limit could lead to performance degradation and complications in management due to the increased complexity and overhead associated with handling a larger number of clusters. The lower options do not align with the capabilities of Panorama, while the higher option far exceeds the software's designed capacity. Thus, the answer reflects a balance between usability and performance within the defined limits of Panorama's managerial capabilities.
