57:00Running Kubernetes in Production with NKP | Global Nutanix User Group Webinar
A Global Nutanix User Group webinar making the case that raw Kubernetes is an engine, not a car, and that running containers in production needs the full vehicle around it. Technical Marketing Engineers Nimal Kunnath and Kapil Anandani introduce the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) as an opinionated stack of pure upstream Kubernetes plus more than 22 CNCF projects, organized into three jobs: cluster provisioning via Cluster API, day two observability, and Fleet Management. Live demos show a production cluster built in about 20 minutes, troubleshooting a failing payment service through Grafana, Loki, and an AI Navigator chatbot, disaster recovery with NDK and Velero, and a Fleet Management trick where an application follows a label across clusters and clouds automatically. The session closes on multi tenancy for service providers and a question and answer round covering migration limits, optional components, licensing, project admin roles, and global load balancing.
