Users highlight ease of scaling, stability, integration, storage, network, compute virtualization, and automated load management. Deployment is straightforward, aided by Prism Central, minimal downtime, and easy Kubernetes cluster creation. Administrators appreciate single-platform management with Terraform, OpenShift deployment, and the ability to add plugins. Efficient provisioning and technical support further enhance user satisfaction.
- "The solution provides no downtime features. If we face issues, we create a new port, deploy it there, and then drop the existing one. This way, we avoid NKE downtime on our website."
- "The platform is valuable due to its ease of use and quick deployment capabilities."
- "The most valuable features of the Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE) are its simplicity and efficiency during the initial cluster creation phase."
Nutanix Kubernetes Engine NKE needs enhancements in dynamic scaling, GUI verbosity, and updated documentation. Users require improved virtualization capabilities, easier interoperability, and better backup solutions for production clusters. Addressing software bugs and refining management capabilities are priorities. NKE should enhance functionalities for replication, disaster recovery, and high-performance computing needs. Users also encounter migration challenges from VMware, alongside kernel and storage-level issues.
- "One major issue we faced was that appliances couldn't migrate from VMware to the tool. However, this seems to be a common problem across platforms. We've seen the same issue when migrating from VMware to RHV or other solutions. It's not specifically a Nutanix problem but rather an issue migrating appliances from one VM infrastructure to another. Some kernel-level and storage-level issues impact this process."
- "NKE could benefit from additional features that support more advanced Kubernetes functionalities and configurations."
- "Areas for improvement in Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE) include upgrading management capabilities and enhancing the user interface for improved usability."
