While NC2 on AWS runs on bare-metal EC2 instances, hardware-level events or maintenance notifications are initially generated by the AWS infrastructure. To provide a streamlined management experience, Nutanix integrates these AWS-specific events directly into theNC2 console ' s notification center. This allows administrators to monitor for issues such as scheduled reboots, hardware degradations, or instance status checks without constantly switching between the Nutanix and AWS management portals. While Prism Central and Prism Element provide software-level alerts for the Nutanix OS, the NC2 portal is the primary location for alerts related to the underlying cloud lifecycle and infrastructure events that may impact cluster health.
