Kubernetes done right

Instant Platform Engineering

All the components needed for production-ready Kubernetes in a fully integrated turnkey solution.

Flexible deployment options

Deploy in the public cloud, on-premises or at the edge with or without Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure.

Openness

Composed of upstream CNCF projects that are fully integrated and validated, but easily replaced so you’re not locked-in.

Consolidate and master your cloud native operations

Deploy, secure, manage and upgrade:
Enterprise-ready cloud native stack at scale

Complete platform

Service Mesh and Networking

Simplify complex microservices management while enhancing observability and security.

Comprehensive Observability

Infrastructure and application monitoring with advanced logging and real-time visualization.

Policy, Governance, and Security

Prevent configuration drift by enforcing consistent policies across all environments.

Fleet management

Cluster API and GitOps

Avoid cluster sprawl through centralized hybrid multicloud fleet management, intuitively integrated with developer workflows with GitOps.

EKS and AKS Management

Add comprehensive multi-cluster management capabilities to your public cloud Kubernetes deployments without needing to migrate to a different runtime.

AI Navigator, Insights, and consistency

Leverage AI and get the most out of Kubernetes with anomaly detection with root cause analysis and an intelligent chatbot to provide best practices and drive consistency

Integrated and comprehensive data services

Files, Objects, and Block Storage

Manage your valuable application data with comprehensive and mature data services that scale out seamlessly with your deployment, regardless of protocol or data format.

Nutanix Data Services for Kubernetes

Extend enterprise data services to cloud native applications and give Kubernetes administrators control over data services such as disaster recovery and business continuity.

Nutanix Database Service

Simplify database management at scale with self-service database provisioning and management, automated best practices, and accelerated performance.

Other Capabilities

Pure upstream Kubernetes

NKP is built on pure upstream CNCF-conformant Kubernetes. That means you can leverage the innovation of the open-source community while avoiding the pitfalls of forked Kubernetes versions and dependencies.

Multi-cluster platform lifecycle management

Complete management lifecycle of clusters through a central management plane enables you to standardize on a highly resilient and secure stack on any infrastructure—cloud, bare metal, edge, or air-gapped.

Military-grade security

NKP exceeds NSA/CISA Kubernetes security hardening guidelines and can be configured to meet defined security standards. Each component is scanned for vulnerabilities before release. NKP also simplifies full air-gapped deployments via self-contained images and purpose-built automation.
