The maintenance of Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) is good. My experience with managing applications in production with Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) is really excellent. It is really stable. My advice to others looking into Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) is that I will strongly recommend it if they understand that they truly need to have Kubernetes on-premises. Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) will give you a taste of the public cloud. However, if you do not need on-premises deployment, you should go to the public cloud for fully managed services, which is easier and makes work more straightforward because you do not need to manage another component. If a company needs to have on-premises deployment for many reasons, I would never buy Nutanix to run in the public cloud. However, I would buy it if I have to run it on-premises. We use the simplified air-gapped deployment option. I would rate this review a seven overall.
I use a private cloud on-prem and co-location with my True IDC, which is my partner company, and build my own private cloud. I have both; I'm running the core service on AWS and also purchased some of the products from the marketplace. Because it's open for integration with GitOps methodology, when I'm using GitOps with Argo CD, it helps me to just plug and play easily; I can deploy the entire platform via GitOps solution. In general, I can give Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) a rating of nine out of ten, where ten is the best.
Our business has improved because we have a lot of clusters running on different platforms, such as pre-provisioned clusters, bare metal, and physical infrastructure. We also basically focus on the air-gap cluster that does not require internet, so managing them has become easy, and there has been a lot of improvement. Additionally, compared to OpenShift of Red Hat, they provide more cost benefits. Our clients are enterprise-level businesses. We have deployed the air-gap cluster. Air-gap was quite tough at the start, but since they supported us for troubleshooting, it is currently easy, and they have also improved their documentation for air-gap deployments. As of now, I have not used the integrated data services feature, so I cannot provide an impression about its improvement on data strategy. I will recommend NKP for their cost-effectiveness, their support, and also their ease of use. I rate Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) overall a nine.

Regarding API-driven infrastructure of Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP), I didn't quite understand that question. I don't think we utilize it, but I am unsure if it is there. My overall review rating for Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) is seven out of ten.
The security features of Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) help protect applications; we are utilizing the security level provided by NKP and also using a third-party tool, Palo Alto, to protect in two ways. We are using Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) on-premises. I recommend Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) because you can have the Kubernetes cluster on the Nutanix HCI cluster, allowing you to run everything together on the same hardware without any additional cost of resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) a 9.

I have tested Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) two or three times. My last interaction with Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) was approximately six months ago. As a Nutanix partner, I would recommend NKP particularly to those with Kubernetes expertise. While the platform performs excellently once configured, the initial setup can be challenging. I would rate it a seven or six out of ten, and the overall product rating is 8 out of 10.
