How many Ubuntu Pro licenses are required for a Nutanix cluster? Do we only need to license the Nutanix cluster nodes, or do we also need to purchase separate Ubuntu Pro licenses for each virtual machine running on the cluster?

For nutanix itself you dont need ubuntu licenses. 

For Ubuntu you can find the license requirements here: https://ubuntu.com/pricing

Thank you for the reply.

What I’m really looking for is input from someone with experience upgrading virtual machines from regular Ubuntu to Ubuntu Pro within a Nutanix cluster. Specifically, I’m wondering how the licensing works in that scenario—do you license only the physical cluster nodes, or does each virtual machine require its own Ubuntu Pro license?

Best regards

Well that is something for the ubuntu forums and not a nutanix question. As it is in the virtual machine. https://askubuntu.com/
