5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Hi BradenMcG-DC, I think it comes down more to what you want to do and what features to use. Starting with AOS 5.5, role-based access control, application management (Calm), micro-segmentation policies, and Prism Self Service (PSS) features management is handled by Prism Central. There are also Karbon and Objects. If none of these interest you then it is possible that you do not need PC. There is nothing that says you must have it.

Even though Nutanix is technically KVM at its core, you do not want the KVM flavor of cloud image!As an example, for Ubuntu 20.04 - (http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/focal/release/) ubuntu-20.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk-kvm.img - doesn’t work ubuntu-20.04-server-cloudimg-
