Google Anthos can be deployed on the Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure running Nutanix AHV hypervisor using the Anthos clusters on bare metal installation method.
+The Google Anthos nodes will be running as virtual machines on the Nutanix AHV hypervisor. The virtual machines need to run a validated operating system and version. +The list of validated operating systems to run Google Anthos on Nutanix AHV can be found in the Nutanix section of the partner platforms page.
+The Nutanix CSI driver can be used to consume the storage provided by the Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure through Kubernetes Persistent Volumes.
+See the diagram below for a high-level architecture overview:

Refer to the Nutanix HCI Now Runs as Google Cloud's Anthos article for more information on the partnership.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +Note: The following Google Anthos versions have been tested on Nutanix AHV:
+| Google Anthos versions | +
|---|
| 1.6.x - 1.9.x, 1.13.x, 1.14.x | +
When installing Google Anthos clusters on bare metal on Nutanix AHV, it is required to manually create the virtual machines through Prism Central.
+These virtual machines need to run a validated operating system. The list of validated operating systems can be found in the Nutanix section of the partner platforms page.
+Google Anthos clusters on bare metal requires the following virtual machines types to be provisioned:
+Note
+The number of cluster node virtual machines that need to be created depend on the deployment type for the controlplane and the amount of worker nodes required for the application.
+Refer to the Anthos clusters on bare metal quickstart to get a detailed overview of the installation procedure of Google Anthos.
+Note
+When deploying the Anthos nodes on a Nutanix IPAM-managed subnet, make sure the controlPlaneVIP, ingressVIP and addressPools are not part of one of the IP-pools to prevent IP conflicts.
