"Nutanix revealed a bare metal version of its NKP Kubernetes distribution that it feels will often be used on the edge, where applications are mostly containerized and hardware resources are often modest, making use of a full hybrid cloud stack a little wasteful."
"The result was KubeVirt, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project that makes it possible to run virtual machines inside Kubernetes, mostly for occasions when it's not possible to refactor VMs as containerized apps."
"Nutanix thinks some customers who like the idea of running bare metal Kubernetes on the edge may also have a small number of virtualized applications they want to run there."
Nutanix is set to support KubeVirt, allowing customers to run both containers and virtual machines on the edge. This approach caters to users who require VMs alongside containerized applications. The company introduced a bare metal version of its NKP Kubernetes distribution, aimed at edge environments where resource efficiency is crucial. While Nutanix embraces KubeVirt for edge use, it will not support it in datacenters, as it already utilizes its AHV hypervisor for VM management.
