Bare-Metal Kubernetes: What NKP Metal Gets Right
Here's something I ran into that might be worth a second look.
Nutanix launched NKP Metal recently - basically their Kubernetes Platform extended to run directly on physical servers. I think the interesting part isn't the bare-metal capability itself, but what it means for operational consistency.
The practical bit
If you're running AI/ML workloads or dealing with edge deployments, bare-metal matters for one reason: you avoid the hypervisor layer. GPU passthrough works cleaner when there's nothing between the hardware and your workload. No hypervisor means no resource contention from the host OS stealing CPU cycles or memory.
