Nutanix NCP-CN case studies
Nutanix NCP-CN · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Nutanix Certified Professional - Cloud Native (NCP-CN) is a professional-level credential aimed at engineers who run Kubernetes and containerized workloads on Nutanix infrastructure. It sits at the intersection of two skill sets: the platform side (Nutanix Kubernetes Platform, formerly NKP, cluster creation and lifecycle, networking and load balancing) and the data side (Nutanix CSI and Volumes for persistent storage, Nutanix Database Service for stateful workloads). The Nutanix NCP-CN case studies are 5 cases and about 3,584 words.
