Nutanix Enterprise AI runs on the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP). To deploy NCP in a public cloud like AWS, the supported deployment model is Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2). NC2 provisions the full Nutanix software stack, including AOS and AHV, on bare metal EC2 instances within an AWS VPC. This creates a hybrid cloud environment that can integrate with native AWS services. While Amazon EKS can be used for container orchestration, the underlying Nutanix platform that supports the AI workloads in AWS is deployed as a Cloud Cluster.

A. Standalone: This term typically describes a self-contained, on-premises deployment and is not the model used for integration with public cloud services like EKS.

C. GPT-in-a-Box 2.0: This is the former product name for Nutanix Enterprise AI. It describes the software solution itself, not a specific deployment type for AWS.

D. Bare Metal: This describes the underlying AWS infrastructure (EC2 bare metal instances) that Nutanix Cloud Clusters run on, not the Nutanix deployment type itself.

1. Nutanix Enterprise AI Solution Brief: "Nutanix Enterprise AI is a full-stack software-defined platform... that can be deployed in your datacenter or in a public cloud via Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2)." (Nutanix, Inc., Nutanix Enterprise AI Solution Brief, Page 2, "Full-Stack AI Platform" section).

2. Nutanix Cloud Clusters on AWS Documentation: "Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on AWS lets you use your existing AWS account and networking to create a Nutanix cluster of bare-metal Amazon EC2 instances." (Nutanix Portal, Documentation, Nutanix Cloud Clusters on AWS v4.0, "NC2 on AWS Overview" section).

3. Nutanix Bible, by Steven Poitras: "Nutanix Clusters (NC2) allows the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) to be deployed on bare-metal resources in public clouds (e.g., AWS, Azure)." (Poitras, S., The Nutanix Bible, "Nutanix Clusters (NC2)" chapter, Introduction section). This establishes NC2 as the deployment method for NCP in public clouds, on which Nutanix Enterprise AI runs.
