IDC Report: Operationalizing Kubernetes with a Full-Stack Platform


Kubernetes is the industry standard for modern applications, but enterprise success requires more than orchestration. This IDC white paper is for IT leaders and platform teams navigating the complexity of enterprise Kubernetes adoption. It explores how full-stack platforms like Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) simplify deployment and Day 2 operations, support hybrid, multicloud, and edge deployments, and enable AI workloads.

Asset Takeaways:

  • Why Kubernetes alone isn’t enough for enterprise-scale operations
  • How VM–container convergence reduces complexity and improves efficiency
  • The role of turnkey platforms in hybrid, multicloud, and edge environments
  • What integrated observability, security, and storage look like in practice
  • How NKP supports AI workloads and future-proofs infrastructure
