Deploying Prism Central on Nutanix Community Edition 2.0 using the 1-Click Internet Method

Nutanix Community Edition 2.0 is compatible with the commercial version of Prism Central (PC), and we can use the 1-click Internet Method to deploy the PC, which significantly simplifies the deployment procedure.

For those who don’t know, Prism Central provides the ability to manage multiple Nutanix clusters from a single pane of glass, as well as additional features for managing, monitoring, reporting, and access control that are not available from the Prism Element interface. Also, Prism Central is required for deploying services like Nutanix Kubernetes Engine, Objects, Flow, and so on.

The purpose of this article is to provide a walkthrough on using 1-Click PC deployment.

Using Workers in Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV

Veeam workers are the VMs running in the Nutanix cluster used in large environments to speed up the backup and restore processes.

Veeam Backup and Replication manages those VMs. During backup or restore procedures, VMs are powered on to process the data, and when backup or restore is finished, they are powered off.

We can consider workers as temporary proxies, working only during backup or restore procedures.

In this article, we will look at how to add workers to the backup infrastructure and how it works.
