Nutanix has introduced Cloud Native AOS, an operating system that supports its hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) offerings but is now available independently without a hypervisor. This shift aims to empower customers to deploy Kubernetes containerization on bare metal and in the cloud, supporting a decentralized approach to data and applications. Nutanix's marketing VP Lee Caswell emphasized their vision of a multi-cloud future, contrasting with other vendors that centralize operations in a single cloud. The change signals a strategy to expand its market presence, particularly appealing to those reconsidering VMware solutions post-acquisition by Broadcom.
"We consider that data and applications will be more distributed over time. That's actually a different model than any hyperscaler who's trying to concentrate all data and applications into a single cloud."
"Nutanix should allow containers to run on its OS without the use of a hypervisor somewhat goes against the original principle it pioneered."
