Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP)

running Nutanix CE on a single server with NKP 2.16 (3 management nodes and 4 worker nodes). After enabling NAI 2.6, the NKP UI started showing "No Data", although NKP clusters and NAI services are working fine. The issue is that NKP cannot be managed from the UI, while the backend functionality appears normal. Any guidance would be appreciated

Hello I have some GKE clusters with persistent volume on Cluster Nutanix In this days, We are doing one POC with NKP in the same Cluster.My Question, Is possible attach GKE to Console of NKP? I understand that I can't make any changes to the nodes, but I want to know if I can view them perfomance.its possible?

How to dump Linux Extractor memory in Nke or NKP? Can I just install lime.ko manually on the Linux Nke OS or does Nutanix have its own way to get the dump file of the memory extractor?

Hello,customer is using two 4-node clusters at different (geo)locations.There is used a async replication of vm’s via protection domains to the remote site, that works and a failover test was successful.customer wants to deploy NKP on its primary cluster, so far so fine.How can NKP Kontroller cluster and working cluster replicated to the secondary site?Protection domain too or another way? kind regards,Thomas

I have a customer reviewing CIS-hardened images for NKP. They're asking:When and how is patching managed for these images? (automated? manual? frequency?) How does Nutanix handle lifecycle (support windows, deprecation, upgrades)?Any docs/pointers on:Exact patching process & cadence? Lifecycle policy for CIS-hardened images? Customer responsibilities vs. Nutanix-managed?

 I deployed a fully functional NKP management cluster without Prism Central — not because I lacked hardware, but because I'm building something different: a natural language control plane for NKP powered by AI agents and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The goal is to replace point-and-click infrastructure management with conversational orchestration. Given yesterday's AMD + Nutanix $250M partnership announcement targeting agentic AI on NKP, I believe this direction is more relevant than ever.The Problem I'm SolvingAs a telecommunications engineer who has spent 15+ years deploying infrastructure across Latin America, I've observed a consistent pattern: the bottleneck is never the technology — it's the operational complexity.Prism Central is excellent for what it does. But when I think about the next generation of infrastructure management — especially for LATAM enterprises that need to operate NKP clusters at the edge, in air-gapped government environments, and across distributed telc

HI,I have a test environment and wanted to checkout the NKP Deployment from Marketplace with Prism Central 7.5.0.1 but I am unable to get a OS Image listed in the deployment:I setup a Ubuntu VM 22.04 before and installed NKP 2.16.1 and ran nkp create image nutanix ubuntu-22.0 successfully, image is visible in Prism Central with name nkp-ubuntu-22.04-1.33.5-20260104141512I am a bit lost know if I did something wrong or misunderstood - having the environment for limited time would be happy to get some good hints if possible.Thanks,Sebastian

Hi!While preparing for the Nutanix NCP-CN certification, I wanted a hands-on way to explore the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) — even without a Nutanix cluster.Since deploying NKP on Linux VMs involves significantly more manual configuration steps than on a Nutanix Cluster, it turned out to be the more time consuming but also far more educational path.This guide walks through building a lightweight NKP lab environment, ideal for learning, testing, or experimenting alongside the official NKP Administration training from Nutanix University.Hope this is valuable for some of you ✌️

Looks like there is no ready-to-use image available for NKP 2.16 in the Downloads. For NKP Starter users, what is the update process now if we want to move from 2.15 to 2.16?Documentation does not have any information on the concrete steps, some references are to using the NKP Image builder but even that is unclear. 

We are currently running NKE and are looking to move to NKP but have a doubt about the subnet requirements.NKE is currently running with multiple Kubernetes Clusters in a single Subnet. Is it supported and valid to continue in this way with NKP? Ideally, we would like to build the NKP clusters in the same subnet as NKE for the migration work rather than commission a new subnet. The subnet is suitably large, and we use Calico CNI for Networking. 

Hi my nkp clients are requesting me to change the nkp connection token to their cluster with kubectl from 24 hours to never changing, Were in a airgapped environment and they said it will help them greatly.I didn't find any documentation on how to do it.If you could let me know how it can be done or direct me to the relevant documents it will really help us.Thank you very much.In the documentation it talks about changing the settings upon creation but the cluster is production and running and I need to change on the existing one.

Hi, has anyone tested NKP 2.15 with RHEL 9.6? The official support document only state RHEL 8.10. Asking for a POC environment where customer preference is RHEL 9.6

related same to someone previously raised:https://next.nutanix.com/nutanix-kubernetes-platform-nkp-186/missing-a-file-in-nkp-air-gapped-bundle-v2-15-0-linux-amd64-tar-gz-44497?tid=44497&fid=186 currently i am installing NKP air gap bundle. I can see there is image (nkp-catalog-applications-image-bundle )“Missing a image in nkp-air-gapped-bundle_v2.16.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz ?”I can only see these 2 images. the 3rd one is missing.tried downloading trice, same issue.   

Hi all, Is there limitation to worker’s VCPU to NKP Starter license? Best Regards,Joe Wang 

Hello, I have been testing the NKP Starter in my LAB with Nutanix Community and encountered failures in creating the NKP cluster. The deployment of the NKP Cluster uses the NKP Node OS Image in UEFI mode, which, as many know, has an issue if the VM is created with the default network card in the Community Edition CE 2.1 and UEFI Boot. A workaround is to change the network card to the e1000 model, but doing this during the NKP deployment can cause your task to hang. So, in several attempts, I was able to quickly change the network card in time for the cluster creation command to complete the infrastructure deployment operations. NKP Node OS Image (Rocky Linux 9.5-release-1.32.3-20250430150550) for AHV( Version: v2.15.0 ) Is there any way to provide an instruction for the NKP to deploy the infrastructure with Legacy BIOS or to build an NKP Node OS Image without UEFI? It is mentioned in the documentation that the NKP Node OS Image cannot be customized in the NKP Starter version.

I want to upgrade NKP from 2.14 to 2.15I downloaded airgap bundle nkp-air-gapped-bundle_v2.15.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz from Nutanix download page.Following documentation : https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Kubernetes-Platform-v2_15:top-ug-nkp-ag-load-pr-nkp-cat-apps-c.htmlWe need to load file ./container-images/nkp-catalog-applications-image-bundle-nkp-version.tar,but when trying to load image I get an error :nkp push bundle --bundle nkp-catalog-applications-image-bundle-v${NKPVERSION}.tar --to-registry=$REGISTRY_URL --to-registry-username=${REGISTRY_USERNAME} --to-registry-password=${REGISTRY_PASSWORD} --to-registry-insecure-skip-tls-verify✓ Creating temporary directorydid find any matching files for "nkp-catalog-applications-image-bundle-v2.15.0.tar" I can see this file is missing, we only have 2 other files in the container-images folder :ls -lh nkp-v2.15.0/container-images/total 12G-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 81 May 14 07:50 NOTICES.txt-rw-r--r-- 1 root root

Version 2.15 reports events “unable to clone 'https://github.com/mesosphere/dkp-catalog-applications': couldn't find remote ref "refs/tags/2.15.0"Inspecting the github source shows that this version number is not available as a tag but as a release. After changing the config to apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2kind: GitRepositorymetadata: name: nkp-catalog-applications namespace: kommanderspec: interval: 1m url: https://github.com/mesosphere/dkp-catalog-applications ref: branch: release-2.15 # Use the branch name instead of a taga lot of things start deploying

During the installation of the NKP cluster you need to set an IP-address for the CONTROL_PLANE_ENDPOINT. Unfortunately the rocky linux node (nkp-rocky-9.5-release-1.31.4-20250409153435.qcow2) also tries to obtain an IP-adress via DHCP on the same nic. As a result the nic gets 2 IP-addresses in the same subnet (1 from the installer and 1 from the DHCP)  and reports back to nkp with the DHCP address. This results in a failing install of nkp cluster. 

How are you migrating your stateful applications from NKE to NKP. Thanks!
