Network File System (NFS) is a protocol used to process shared access to a filesystem location, such as a folder, over the TCP/IP network. VMware added support for NFS 4.1 with vSphere 6.0 and with vSphere 6.5 is now supported for use with vSphere Host Profiles. vSphere 6.5 supports both the NFS versions.
NFS exports—are folder shares created on the NFS server's local filesystem to be used by the NFS client; which in this case is an ESXi host.
NFS datastore—an NFS mount that connects to an export on the NFS server. In this way, the NFS server allows the ESXi host to access its filesystem, but the access is restricted to the NFS export.
