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 ✌️
