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,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  

Dear Team,I am trying to deploy an NKP cluster using the Prism Central Marketplace. All prerequisites have been completed successfully, and the deployment process is starting normally.However, after the Bastion VM creation step, the deployment continuously fails with the error message indicating "Nutanix username/password is invalid." I have already changed the Nutanix credentials and retried the deployment using the updated password, but the same issue persists.For your reference, the environment details are as follows:Prism Central Version: 7.6 AOS Version: 7.6 NKP Image: nkp-rocky-9.7-release-cis-1.34.3-20260504011927.qcow2 Could you please check and advise if this is a known issue or a bug related to this NKP image/version combination? Kindly confirm the recommended fix or any additional troubleshooting steps required.

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. 

I would like to confirm the correct process for identifying and verifying an OS image that is compatible with my Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) version before uploading the image to Nutanix Prism Central.Could you please provide guidance on:How to determine which OS images are officially supported for my specific NKP version. Where I can find the list of supported OS images and their corresponding NKP versions. How to verify the compatibility of an OS image before uploading it to Prism Central. Which image format and required image properties should be used. Whether there is a compatibility matrix, documentation, or tool that can be used to validate the image. How to confirm that the uploaded image is ready to be used for NKP cluster deployment.The objective is to ensure that I select the correct and supported OS image before starting the NKP deployment and avoid compatibility-related deployment issues.

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

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. 

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

Hy guys, i access enviroment for download version NKP ultimate version for install binary, but not change because redirect dor site.can have trail temporary?This is for laboraroty em presentation, i have account for others version but cant version NKP.

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

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 everyone,I’m running Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) 2.17.1 and I’m trying to reduce the CPU/memory requests and limits of some platform applications after installing Kommander.I’m following this Nutanix documentation:https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Kubernetes-Platform-v2_17:top-configure-apps-after-install-kommander-t.htmlFirst, I generated the Kommander installation configuration:nkp install kommander --init > kommander.yamlI then modified the YAML according to the documentation. For example, I configured prometheus-adapter as follows:apiVersion: config.kommander.mesosphere.io/v1alpha1kind: Installation apps:  # ...   prometheus-adapter:    enabled: true    values: |      resources:        limits:          cpu: 1        requests:          cpu: 500m   # ...Then I ran:nkp install kommander \  --installer-config ./kommander_minimal.yaml \  --kubeconfig=${CLUSTER_NAME}.confHowever, the command hangs and does not complete.When I check the HelmRel

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.

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. 

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

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

In Azure and AWS we can create labels on node pool, but in NKP there is no way to do it?  

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 ✌️

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?
