Have been a number of updates:
Corrections:
7:01 - While NC2 is a 3rd Party Azure offering, it is a jointly engineered solution between Microsoft and Nutanix. It does not require a contract / minimum length commitment, and comes with automation via the NC2 portal to build the end-to-end cluster configuration.
10:01 - The NC2 customer retains what they do on-prem with their existing Nutanix management plane, i.e. single control plane. The workloads in User VMs can also benefit from the adjacency to Azure PaaS workloads via private endpoints (more on those below).
10:45 - The explained setup, ToR switch integration, cutover of addressing from the Nutanix services vNet to the customer vNet, etc is all managed and deployed automatically via the NC2 Portal. The Portal requires simple submission of a form to perform this automation
15:30 - Global Peering is not supported for delegated subnets, but is not a restriction for User VMs (that can have routes added to control traffic flow).
16:25 - NAT Gateway is mandatory for the bare metal hosts, but not for UserVM that can have routes added to control traffic flow. There is also the possibility for the peered network routes or a VPN to be used to control host and Nutanix management traffic.
17:08 - Private endpoints do not work for the bare metal hosts on the delegated subnets, but is not a restriction for User VMs.
19:44 - NSGs, UDRs, and Private Endpoints are limitations for bare metal hosts only on the delegated subnet. User VMs are not limited by these restrictions.
19:47 - While load balancers do not work for workloads that are on the Nutanix-managed network overlay, Azure Load Balancer can be used for the Azure Floating IP addresses that can be assigned to workloads NAT’ed by Nutanix.
