Nutanix SP Central 1.0: What It Actually Controls
Nutanix SP Central 1.0 adds a service-provider tenancy layer across Prism Central domains, but projects, APIs, resource enforcement, and workload execution still live below the portal.
AHVHA, Metro Availability and Multi Site Design on AOS 7.3
The availability layer on Nutanix: AHV VM high availability and reservation, the async to NearSync to synchronous replication spectrum, AHV Metro Availability for zero RPO, Protection Domains versus entity centric Nutanix DR, and multi site topologies.
AHVSizing and configuring VMs on AHV 10.3 so they run fast, migrate cleanly, and work with the scheduler instead of against it
How to design VMs on AHV 10.3: vCPU and NUMA sizing, memory sizing and controlled Memory Overcommit, UEFI Secure Boot and vTPM for Windows, virtio and the Frodo path, NGT, host affinity and anti affinity under ADS, and GPU passthrough versus vGPU.
NutanixCapacity Planning and Cluster Lifecycle on AOS 7.3
Sizing to resilient capacity, reading the Planning dashboard, and expanding, shrinking, and refreshing a Nutanix cluster without breaking resiliency
AHVMonitoring and Observability AOS 7.3 / AHV 10.3 / Prism Central 7.3
A Nutanix cluster reports on itself by default. The question is whether you have routed that signal somewhere a human or a system will act on it, and
NutanixBackup, Snapshots, and Replication on AOS 7.3.
Snapshots, replication, and backup get treated as one feature on Nutanix because they share the same storage primitive. They are three different jobs with three different recovery contracts,
AHVSecurity, Identity, and Hardening AHV
Nutanix arrives with most of its security controls already running. The platform applies a hardened operating system baseline at the factory and holds it there without operator effort.
AHVLCM and Cluster Updates
NCD-06 in the Nutanix Cluster Design series. This one covers Life Cycle Manager (LCM) and how cluster updates actually run: the framework and module model, the inventory
AHVStorage Services in Depth: Compression, Deduplication, and EC-X on AOS 7.3
This is article 04 of the Nutanix Cluster Design Fundamentals series, targeting AOS 7.3 with AHV 10.3 and Prism Central 7.3. NCD-03 walked the
AHVStorage Architecture and the Distributed Storage Fabric
NCD-03 in the Nutanix Cluster Design Fundamentals series, baselined to AOS 7.3, AHV 10.3, and Prism Central 7.3. This article takes apart the Distributed
NutanixCluster Networking on AHV: OVS, Virtual Switches, and Uplink Design
AHV networking looks deceptively simple in Prism. Behind the few clicks sits Open vSwitch on every host, a cluster wide virtual switch that demands identical configuration on each
AHVNutanix Cluster Design Fundamentals on AOS 7.3
Every design decision you will make about a Nutanix cluster, from networking and storage to mobility and resilience, traces back to a small set of structural facts about
