In my last post we covered the Nutanix Overview, but didn't go deep into how the NDFS is built. In this post we will cover the basic dataflow, including how the CVMs connect to the network. Many of these diagrams are inspired by the Nutanix Bible which is a great resource for all things Nutanix.
Nutanix Overview
So you've heard of Nutanix - you've seen the overview but you're not quite ready for the Nutanix Bible. Maybe you've inherited a cluster from the previous admin or you are about to setup your first cluster with your SE. The goal of this post will be to break down the system - to give a beginners guide of sorts that helps get you on your way. This won't be a step by step install guide (which you can find here), but a digest of the system presented in a way that will help you frame the other information on the web. Any work italicized will have an entry at the bottom (in the important terms section) and on the Nutanix Glossary page. With that said, let's get started!
Hello World!
So as you may have noticed, this blog has been pretty quiet. I set it up a few weeks ago, but wasn't sure how to start or what to blog about. In the end, it seems like a welcome post is the place to start.
First off, a little about me. I graduated RPI in 2011 with a degree in Computer and Systems Engineering. During my time there I worked as a TA for the Cisco Networking Academy and I jumpstarted their VMware academy as well, becoming their first VCP instructor. After graduation I joined Cisco as a TAC engineer on the Server Visualization team. This is the team that provides support for the UCS (B and C series), Nexus 1000v, and various hypervisors. During my time there I developed and delivered many chalk talks and bootcamps (including a Cisco Live lab). Recently I made the jump to a new company - Nutanix.
