Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) was used as a public cloud adjacent platform for the operation of server workloads to act as a stop gap, providing the ability to host legacy workloads ahead of a workload modernisation activity and an eventual migration into EC2, while also allowing the consumption of cloud native services into our environment.
