Nutanix Now on AWS GovCloud

02/02/2026

Nutanix Government Cloud Clusters (GC2) for AWS GovCloud is live!

This new offering represents a significant opportunity for partners serving government agencies and highly regulated industries.

Secure, autonomous cloud operations

GC2 allows organisations to run the complete Nutanix stack within the AWS GovCloud region. Unlike standard cloud clusters, GC2 places all orchestration intelligence directly inside the customer’s AWS environment.

This means there’s no SaaS control plane. Your customers retain complete ownership of their credentials and operate their clusters entirely within their own secure environment, eliminating external dependencies and connectivity requirements that often block cloud adoption in the public sector.

Built for the most secure environments

For government agencies and defence contractors, security is non-negotiable. GC2 is designed specifically for these high-security environments where data sovereignty is paramount. It delivers the operational simplicity of the Nutanix Cloud Platform while ensuring infrastructure credentials never leave the controlled environment.

Nutanix GC2 for AWS GovCloud empowers organisations with:

  • Total control: Customers keep full ownership of credentials with no external SaaS control plane connectivity required.

  • Enhanced security: Operates entirely within the customer's private AWS VPC, meeting strict compliance standards.

  • Operational simplicity: Delivers the familiar Nutanix experience and management capabilities without compromising security boundaries.

  • Seamless scalability: Easy expansion and contraction of nodes to meet changing mission requirements.
