Hybrid-cloud Kubernetes

Establishing a hybrid-cloud Kubernetes environment paves the way for substantially more flexibility in scaling and migrating cloud native workloads. However, this goal often involves two major challenges. First, standing up and maintaining a production-grade Kubernetes stack-- especially one based on legacy infrastructure-- is a complex endeavor. Second, operating Kubernetes clusters across public and private clouds often means juggling different management solutions and other undesired overhead.

MICROSOFT AZURE ARC-ENABLED KUBERNETES CLUSTERS

Nutanix Karbon is certified for Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes clusters. Customers first use Karbon to configure and deploy Kubernetes clusters on top of Nutanix HCI. Then, the clusters can be brought into the purview of Azure’s monitoring and policy management capabilities via Arc.

Nutanix has earned a reputation for making infrastructure configuration and management simple and intuitive and their approach to operationalizing Kubernetes on premises is no exception. This is an advantage for customers looking to manage Kubernetes applications consistently across the cloud and on-premises. With Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes, customers can centrally configure and deploy applications to their Nutanix deployments, enabling a seamless hybrid experience.

GOOGLE CLOUD ANTHOS ON BARE METAL

Anthos provides a consistent means of managing Kubernetes workloads across on-prem and public cloud environments, bringing together otherwise disparate cloud architectures. Anthos comprises GKE, GKE on-prem, and the Anthos Config Management Console, enabling unified administration, policies, and security across hybrid cloud and multicloud Kubernetes deployments. Anthos can be deployed on Nutanix HCI and then used to configure and deploy Kubernetes clusters.
