Unified Ingress for VMs and Containers
Traefik now natively spans both Nutanix AHV and NKP, with Prism Central integration, automatic VM and container discovery, and zero-touch configuration.

The Hidden Costs of Parallel Stacks
Running separate paths for VMs and Kubernetes looks safe in the short term. Over time, it multiplies tools, fragments policy, slows audits, and makes AI and API delivery harder than it needs to be.
1
Duplicate Tools, Higher Spend
- Gateways, WAFs, and load balancers are paid for twice and managed twice.
- Routing rules and policies are rebuilt in two places.
- Every upgrade, license, and support ticket costs more than it should.
2
Security Gaps, Slower Audits
- Auth, rate limits, and WAF rules drift across VM and Kubernetes paths.
- Logs live in different systems, so audits take longer and miss context.
- Risk reviews stall because there is no single policy source of truth.
3
AI and API Delivery Slows Down
- Model safeguards and API controls are inconsistent across environments.
- Extra network hops and sidecars add latency and break SLOs.
- Rollouts and rollbacks take longer because discovery is not unified.
4
Migrations Drag and Sites Drift
- Moving from ingress to full gateway features triggers rework.
- Edge and remote sites evolve on their own and create surprises.
- Teams lose flow since VM admins and platform engineers use different playbooks.
Turn Nutanix AHV and NKP into a Single Delivery Fabric
Make VMs and Kubernetes feel like one platform. Traefik connects to Prism Central, discovers services across AHV and NKP, and applies one set of policies for routing, security, and governance everywhere.
One Fabric for Every App
Run one gateway for AHV VMs and NKP clusters with shared rules and routes.
Keep the same traffic shaping, retries, splits, and transformations across all apps.
Move from ingress to full API and AI controls without rework.
Security that Travels with the Workload
Centralize auth and authorization so policies match in VM and Kubernetes paths.
Enforce WAF and safeguards with unified logs for faster, cleaner audits.
Works in sovereign and air-gapped environments under your control.
Operations That Move Faster
Auto-discover VM services through Prism Central and container services through NKP.
Use Git and Helm for predictable changes and zero-downtime upgrades.
Give VM admins and platform teams one workflow and one dashboard.
Built for the Post-VMware World
Standardize one policy and observability plane across datacenter, edge, and cloud.
Route AI alongside APIs with the same controls and protections.
Consolidate point tools and reduce total cost on your timeline.
We're excited to partner with Traefik Labs to deliver a powerful API Gateway and AI Gateway solution for Nutanix customers! The Nutanix Kubernetes Platform has been using the Traefik Ingress Controller for years, and with this new integration, it's never been easier to add advanced API Gateway and AI Gateway capabilities, to serve today's and tomorrow's AI-driven applications.

This is great work from the Traefik team -- and the ability to quickly upgrade the Ingress controller to an API gateway (or AI gateway) is a huge customer win.
