Fast-track your way to production-ready Kubernetes and simplify lifecycle management with Nutanix Kubernetes Engine, an enterprise Kubernetes management solution.
Overview:
Organizations are rapidly adopting Kubernetes as they undertake large-scale digital transformation projects aimed at improving business agility. While software developers speed ahead leveraging containers, microservices architecture, and cloud-native technologies, IT operations becomes a roadblock as it struggles to deploy and manage the required on-premises Kubernetes infrastructure.
Why? Kubernetes is as complex as it is powerful. Few organizations have the expertise or IT resources to build and manage their own production-ready Kubernetes environments. Kubernetes presents major challenges across cluster configuration, persistent storage, availability, and lifecycle management that can take weeks—even months—to solve. On top of that, Kubernetes evolves rapidly with each release.
Most commercially-available managed Kubernetes solutions are expensive and involve proprietary elements which impact application portability and choice in multi-cloud contexts. In order to fully capitalize on the scalability, agility, and speed-to-market advantages that Kubernetes offers, enterprises need a solution that is simple to operate while preserving the native Kubernetes experience.
