With the release of Prism Central PC 2024.x, you may see significant improvements and changes in the functionality, features, user interfaces, and menus.

In my opinion, one of the major features added is the marketplace providing us the ability to deploy additional PC components, including NKE.

Although I believe that the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform is the future of Kubernetes management in Nutanix, I am still a big fan of the Nutanix Kubernetes Engine and want to demonstrate how to deploy NKE with pc.2024.x.

Let me remind you that I have a few blog posts on NKE, and all of them can be found using the NKE tag.

The Kubeconfig file contains information needed to connect to the Kubernetes cluster. In this article, we will look at how to get a Kubeconfig file to connect to the NKE-deployed Kubernetes clusters.

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.

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.
