Nutanix and our customers have always embraced choice in the datacenter. Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure and Nutanix Unified Storage bring easy, enterprise-class operations, solutions and scale to thousands of customers running heterogeneous applications in VMs, and microservices-based, modern applications in containers leveraging Kubernetes. Today at Kubecon North America in Detroit, Michigan, we’re pleased to deliver on the promise we made earlier this year with GA support for Amazon EKS Anywhere on Nutanix managed infrastructure.
Amazon EKS Anywhere is an enterprise-class solution for deploying Kubernetes clusters on Nutanix with simplified cluster creation and operations. Included are default component configurations, integrated 3rd party software, and tooling consistent with Amazon EKS. Once installed, customers can leverage many additional AWS services including Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, and Amazon API Gateway, among others. EKS Anywhere itself includes default configurations, a container runtime, CNI, and multiple authentication choices.
Nutanix is the best platform for modern applications providing a full-stack, scalable software-defined platform to run any application. This includes flexible, secure, enterprise-grade data services for stateful application needs including Volumes, Objects, Files and Nutanix Database Service (NDB), as well as an integrated open source cluster API (CAPI) for Amazon EKS Anywhere and participating Kubernetes runtime providers.
Building and launching EKS Anywhere on Nutanix is simple, fast, and repeatable with fit-for-purpose infrastructure designed for VMs, containers, and modern applications. For additional information about EKS Anywhere see:
