Nutanix Cloud Platform

Overview

Nutanix Cloud Platform is a hybrid-cloud infrastructure platform. Nutanix AHV runs virtual machines, and Nutanix Kubernetes Platform manages Kubernetes clusters.

Private applications can span virtual machines and Kubernetes clusters. Pomerium provides a selected identity-aware path without broad infrastructure access.

Nutanix Cloud Platform supplies the runtime or deployment environment. Pomerium runs in that environment and supplies the identity-aware access point for selected services.

Prerequisites

• A supported Linux host that can accept the user-facing route and reach the private upstream service.
• DNS, TLS, identity-provider configuration, protected secrets, and durable storage where the selected design requires it.

How it works

Run Pomerium Core on a supported Linux host in the environment. Install the official package, standalone binary, or container. Configure DNS, TLS, identity, route policy, storage, and replicas for the selected design.

Run Pomerium Core on a supported Linux virtual machine on Nutanix AHV. Place it on a network that can accept the user-facing route and reach the protected services. Use the Kubernetes path for workloads in Nutanix Kubernetes Platform.

Check service health, DNS, TLS, required storage and replicas, and upstream reachability. Confirm that a direct public route cannot bypass Pomerium.

Example

A private operations dashboard runs on an AHV virtual machine. Pomerium runs on a separate Linux virtual machine in a connected network and forwards approved requests.

Considerations

• Pomerium does not manage AHV, Nutanix Kubernetes Platform, virtual machines, or network policy.
