Nutanix Kubernetes® Platform enterprise-ready
cloud native stack helps customers run containerized applications
across hybrid multicloud environments
.NEXT Conference – Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in
hybrid multicloud computing, today announced Nutanix Kubernetes®
Platform (NKP) to simplify management of container-based modern
applications using Kubernetes. NKP enables customers to innovate
faster with a complete, CNCF-compliant cloud native stack that
gives Platform Engineering teams a consistent operating model for
securely managing Kubernetes clusters across on-premises, hybrid,
and multicloud environments. This can help customers deploy more
cloud native and containerized applications that can ultimately run
anywhere.
“Enterprises have standardized on Kubernetes to speed
application development and simplify portability across the hybrid
cloud. However, the DevOps culture has led to adoption of disparate
Kubernetes environments within the same organization leading to
operational complexity, overhead and silos,” said Simon Robinson,
Principal Analyst, Infrastructure, Enterprise Strategy Group.
"Nutanix Kubernetes Platform offers a path to consistency across a
fleet of Kubernetes clusters which can help drastically reduce cost
of operations and speed time to market.”
NKP targets a new class of Kubernetes Platform Engineering teams
to bring enterprise resilience, day-2 operations, and compliance to
modern applications at scale. For example, customers can manage
clusters running containers on Nutanix on-premises and clusters
running in the public cloud with one single pane of glass, cutting
down on complexity and operating costs. It also enables
organizations to manage clusters running in non-Nutanix
environments, including popular public cloud Kubernetes services,
as well as both connected and air-gapped environments. This helps
customers innovate faster by removing the hurdles in adopting cloud
native architectures for their applications.
“One of the biggest challenges organizations face with cloud
native applications is deploying, securing and managing the rapidly
expanding fleets of Kubernetes clusters being deployed on premises
and in public clouds and NKP simplifies this,” said Tobi Knaup, GM
Cloud Native at Nutanix. “This work directly supports our vision,
along with Project Beacon, to enable customers to run modern
applications and their data anywhere.”
NKP helps enterprises manage the operational complexity of
running enterprise-grade kubernetes deployments. Specifically, it
delivers:
- Kubernetes Platform for Data-Driven Apps: NKP integrates
with the industry-leading Nutanix portfolio of data services,
providing reliable scale-out block, file, and object storage, as
well as databases-as-a-service.
- Simplified Kubernetes Management through Automation: NKP
is powerful in its ability to simplify Kubernetes deployment,
security, monitoring and upgrades through best-of-breed automation
and AI-driven operational insights that reduce complexity and human
error, and establish consistency and standardization.
- Complete Platform without Vendor Lock-In: NKP is built
on pure upstream CNCF-conformant Kubernetes, enabling customers to
enjoy the innovation of the open-source community while avoiding
the portability, compatibility, upgradeability, and security issues
associated with forked Kubernetes versions and single-vendor
solutions. Additionally, because NKP is part of the cloud native
ecosystem, customers can easily leverage CNCF-compatible partner
solutions to build a Platform Engineering stack that fits their
particular needs.
- Multi-cluster Fleet Management: NKP eases the management
of Kubernetes clusters through a centralized management plane, a
user-friendly dashboard that acts as a single point of
observability and control for clusters running on-premises, in
public cloud, edge, and air-gapped environments. NKP extends public
cloud Kubernetes services like EKS and AKS with a full suite of
platform services, giving customers a single standardized way of
managing their entire Kubernetes fleet.
NKP comes in three tiers, giving customers what they need at
their stage of maturity in cloud native adoption. NKP Starter is
included in Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure and effectively replaces
the existing Nutanix Kubernetes Engine. It delivers turnkey
clusters with pure, upstream Kubernetes. NKP Pro adds a suite of
cloud native projects to provide a complete platform to securely
run and operate individual clusters, including built in Nutanix
Data services for Kubernetes when deployed on Nutanix Cloud
Infrastructure. Lastly, NKP Ultimate brings fleet management
capabilities, including the ability to install, run and monitor
clusters in the public cloud.
This solution also builds on the work that Nutanix will deliver
as part of Project Beacon to help customers deploy more
cloud-native and containerized applications that can ultimately run
anywhere. Organizations will be able to leverage NKP to manage
Kubernetes applications and their data as well as the modern data
services available natively in public clouds, on-premises, at the
edge, and even other hypervisors.
NKP builds upon mature Kubernetes management technologies proven
at scale by D2iQ’s Kubernetes Platform, which was acquired by
Nutanix in 2023. NKP is expected to be available in the summer of
2024. More information can be found here.
