In today’s rapidly evolving software landscape, containerization has become the go-to method for deploying applications efficiently. However, in the rush to deliver new applications, containers are often deployed in an uncoordinated, siloed fashion, resulting in what is sometimes called “shadow IT”.The Pitfalls of Running Container Workloads in a SilosWhen organizations deploy containerized applications without a centralized orchestration system, they often encounter several challenges:Lack of Scalability – Without an orchestrator, scaling applications becomes a manual, error-prone task that can lead to performance bottlenecks.Inconsistent Deployments – Managing multiple container environments independently may lead to discrepancies in configurations, resulting in failed deployments and finger-pointing between teams when there’s a problem, increasing downtime.Resource Inefficiency – Without a scheduler to allocate resources dynamically, workloads may either over-utilize or under-utiliz

Chances are, you’ve experienced instructor-led training (ILT) at some point—whether in a classroom, at work, or through professional development courses. While self-paced online learning continues to evolve, the value of live interaction between instructors and learners remains unmatched. ILT offers benefits that are difficult to replicate in other formats, including collaborative learning, real-time feedback, and increased engagement.And ILT doesn’t always mean in-person. Virtual instructor-led training (vILT) has become the norm, thanks to platforms like Zoom and WebEx, which offer features such as chat, screen sharing, cloud recording, and HD video to support dynamic virtual classrooms. The Advantages of Instructor-Led TrainingDepending on your learning style—visual, auditory, reading/writing, or kinesthetic—your preference for ILT, online, or blended learning may vary. But ILT offers unique advantages that benefit all types of learners:Stronger Learning Outcomes: The relationships

With the explosive growth of cloud-native application development – including Generative AI – containers have become an essential component of modern IT infrastructure. Unfortunately, in the rush to move quickly, operations can often become siloed with various teams deploying solutions to meet their needs. The result is often known as “shadow IT,” and it can potentially result in increased costs and security risks, along with difficulty in resiliency and scaling. The good news is Nutanix has a solution and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) Pro and Ultimate customers already have access to it as part of their existing licenses.The Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) solution provides the same benefits as NCI in a single unified platform that allows you to manage VMs and containers side by side without the need for specialized training. NKP works with any CNCF-conformant Kubernetes® runtime, simplifying operations, removing silos, and streamlining updates and patches to maintain security
