Advanced Kubernetes Management is a feature of the NKE that provides extra visibility for Kubernetes clusters in the Prism Central interface. It allows you to get information about deployed resources in clusters in a pretty simple manner.
In this article, we will look at how to enable and use the Advanced Kubernetes Management feature.

This is the third article in the NKE series. Before, I wrote about how to deploy Kubernetes clusters using NKE and how to add or remove workers.
In this article, we will cover update procedures and look at how easily we can update the host OS version and Kubernetes using NKE.

It’s time for free Nutanix exams again. You can use this promo code, KCNZTWMSTY, to get a 100% discount on one of the exams: NCA or any NCP.
The code is valid until June 28, but you can schedule your exam date for later, until July 31. Register today and take your exam when it is convenient.
Check out this page for the certification information. And let me remind you that on my blog I have a few preparation guides, including
NCA 6.5 exam and NCP-MCI 6.5 exam.

Previously, I wrote about deploying Kubernetes clusters using the Nutanix Kubernetes Engine.
The next few articles will cover the day-two operations that make managing Kubernetes clusters easier.
Today we will look at how to expand a Kubernetes cluster or how to shrink it using NKE.

Nutanix Kubernetes Engine, or NKE (formerly Karbon), is a solution to deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters in a Nutanix infrastructure.
With NKE, we can deploy Kubernetes clusters, upgrade them, add or remove workers, configure RBAC based on Prism Central, and more in a pretty simple way.
The purpose of this article is to provide a walkthrough on how to prepare a Nutanix cluster for use with NKE and how to deploy a Kubernetes cluster.

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.

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.

In 2022, I had the opportunity to take the Nutanix Certified Expert — Multicloud Infrastructure (NCX-MCI) certification exam, and in this article, I would like to talk a little about the certification and give some tips for preparation.
Notice: This is a translated version of my original post, written in 2022 after I passed this exam. Since then, a few things have changed, but the overall process is still the same.

As I wrote a few months ago, Nutanix released a new training and certification related to Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) – Nutanix Certified Professional – Cloud Integration.
It contains two free online courses:
Nutanix Cloud Clusters on AWS Administration (NC2A-AWS) – Configuring and administrating NC2 in the AWS environment;
Nutanix Cloud Clusters on Azure Administration (NC2A-Azure) – Configuring and administrating NC2 in the Microsoft Azure environment.
And two exams:
Nutanix Certified Professional – Cloud Integration – AWS (NCP-CI-AWS) 6.7;
Nutanix Certified Professional – Cloud Integration – Azure (NCP-CI-Azure) 6.7.
Both exams are exiting the beta stage and will be available from April 30.
And the good news! Until April 19, two 100% discounts are available:
NCP-CI-AWS 6.7 exam discount code: NXFRCIAWS67;
NCP-CI-Azure 6.7 exam discount code: NXFRCIAZ67.
To get Nutanix Certified Professional – Cloud Integration 6 status, and badge, you don’t need to take both exams, but just one of them. So, schedule an exam today using a discount code and take an exam after April 30.
