What Happened When Nutanix Said “Let’s Simplify Kubernetes”
Nutanix has marked a major milestone with its Kubernetes Platform (NKP), gaining rapid traction just a year after launch. Recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Forrester Wave for Multicloud Container Platforms, NKP is being praised for its ability to manage containerized applications across hybrid environments. The platform’s success is built on seamless deployment, scale, and integration with Nutanix Cloud Platform.

Containers have become the cornerstone of modern application development, enabling agility, scalability, and portability across environments. Just one year ago, we launched Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) solution with a bold mission: to simplify Kubernetes® for the enterprise and make hybrid multicloud container management effortless. Based on the proven technology stack acquired from D2iQ, Inc. (formerly Mesosphere), NKP delivers a fully integrated, production-grade platform to deploy and manage containerized workloads anywhere. In just 12 months, NKP has shattered expectations.
Industry analysts see this as a sign that NKP is on a strong growth path despite being a newer entrant.
