If you work for any of the CISA-Identified 16 critical infrastructure sectors, one of their recommendations is for organizations to be able to expect to operate for more than 24h without an Internet connection.
Kinda hard to control real-world things with no Internet connection that rely on an internet connection
Note: Nutanix made some interesting k8s-related acquisitions in the last few years. If interested, you should take a look at some of the things they are working on.
If I were still in that role, I’d absolutely be keeping my Nutanix rep warm for a possible migration. Alas, I’m in another org building them a Win11 imaging pipeline for the time being, and Nutanix doesn’t want to play nice with my personal N100 NUCs for me to try their Community Edition.
