This free ebook is your guide to overcoming operational challenges and building a smarter, more scalable Kubernetes strategy – one that is designed for consistency control, and enterprise-grade performance across every environment.
Kubernetes is essential for modern apps, but most enterprises lack the foundation to support it at scale. Development teams need rapid deployment, yet infrastructure can't deliver.
The result? Production bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and uncontrolled cloud spending. This guide shows you how to bridge the gap and build production-ready Kubernetes infrastructure that scales with your business.
Unified management across cloud, on-premises, and edge
Deploy production-ready environments in minutes
Real-time cost visibility and workload optimization
Military-grade security with AI-powered monitoring
What if you could deploy production-ready Kubernetes in minutes instead of months? Or have complete visibility across your entire fleet with costs under control? These outcomes are within reach when you have the right approach. This ebook provides a clear path forward with practical strategies you can implement today. See how to make Kubernetes work for you, not against you.

Our customers are digitally savvy, so this requires us to quickly roll-out and provide cloud-native applications that are easy to use, can be easily updated, and are always available.
As a new venture with no legacy technologies to worry about, we could build Rakuten Europe Bank using whatever platform and technology we wanted, but for compliance it had to be on-premises. Fortunately, by choosing Nutanix we were able to comply with the regulations while still pushing ahead with plans to build modern cloud-native applications.
Simplify the delivery of modern apps at scale Kubernetes is the engine powering modern application delivery. But scaling it across cloud, datacenter and edge environments can quickly become complex and costly. Whether you're running EKS, AKS or managing your own clusters, the challenges of visibility, governance and operational consistency are real. This free ebook, Set a Course for Kubernetes Success , is your guide to overcoming operational challenges and building a smarter, more scalable Kubernetes strategy – one that is designed for consistency control, and enterprise-grade performance across every environment.
Reap the Full Benefits of Kubernetes with Nutanix While cloud Kubernetes services seem like a no-brainer, they leave a lot to be desired when it comes to enterprise requirements. How can you run Kubernetes efficiently in the cloud and on-premises? How do you unify the experience so you can build, deploy and manage Kubernetes and cloud-native applications seamlessly across different environments? Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) reduces operational complexity and establishes consistency across any environment. NKP saves time and resources, enabling your team to operationalize production-ready environments in minutes rather than weeks or months.
Observability Centralized visibility of Kubernetes workloads with metrics to manage service availability. Consistency across environments A single management plane and toolset spans cloud, datacenter and edge deployments. Financial visibility Granular real-time visibility into Kubernetes costs (including chargeback) and infrastructure insights to optimize cloud infrastructure spend and improve workload utilization.
Pain points associated with cloud Kubernetes services No consistency across environments. Each cloud platform has its own set of tools and capabilities to deploy and operate Kubernetes. If you’re using EKS, the tools, services and interfaces you’re using are specific to EKS. If you’re taking a hybrid cloud or multicloud approach, you may end up with different tools, services and interfaces in every environment. Lack of centralized observability and management. As your cloud-based Kubernetes operations expand, it can become difficult to keep track of everything.
Key benefits:
Turnkey. All the components needed for production-ready Kubernetes in a fully integrated solution.
Flexible deployment options. Deploy in the public cloud, on-premises and at the edge with or without Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure.
Full-featured management. Control operations using our intuitive graphical interface or integrate easily with your existing operations using our command-line interface or GitOps automation.
Open. Built from upstream Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) projects that are fully integrated and validated. Any component is easily replaced so you’re not locked-in.
Military-grade security. Exceeds CISA/NSA Kubernetes security hardening guidelines and can be configured to meet defined security standards. Air-gapped deployments are supported.
