Senior Project Lead at Tetra Pak
Centralized cluster deployment has improved remote site operations and supported hybrid application models
The initial setup was not straightforward. It was challenging, but then it was manageable. It is relatively easy, but we do have challenges. Not everything is straightforward. There are things that can be addressed. In a couple of cases, we needed some third-party expertise to ensure that we did it correctly. In most cases, we were able to do it on our own. When hosting something on Azure and connecting with an HTTPS link, there are some dependencies that need to be tweaked on Nutanix. Otherwise, it does not communicate with the on-premises infrastructure. There were a few tweaks that we struggled with for almost a couple of days. That was not part of the original design manual. We needed to make some tweaks within the cluster ourselves to achieve the goal. There were some shortcomings in the design that we had to customize ourselves to achieve, especially integration with Azure Cloud.

Automated updates have streamlined deployments and now support consistent multi‑cloud replication
Replicated offers features that help reduce the implementation time, which is why we are considering using it. I used it for testing the environment with our use case. We were running in a cloud and used the Kubernetes options. We replicated it to host our web page and then removed it to the Kubernetes cluster again, which was working fine. I did not have any problems during that process. The automated update is a good feature because you do not lose a lot of time during the entire process, and there is no stop phase or anything that could fail. When initially installing the product and then applying patches, we do not have any problems. We tried to integrate Replicated with DevOps tools. We tested integrating with Azure DevOps and GitHub, and we did not have any problems at that time. We did not have GitLab or any other tool available.

Cons

"There are some limitations with the non-air gap version as it requires complete internet access, which poses restrictions due to government regulations."
"In Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP), I believe the migration process needs to be much simpler, similar to other Kubernetes platforms we are using, with all steps being clear and direct to facilitate an easier experience for everyone."
"The reviewer has experience with Cisco and expressed a preference for Cisco over Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP)."
