To license a new AOS-based cluster with no add-on packages, the appropriate license type isNutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI). The NCI license provides the fundamental capabilities required for Nutanix clusters, including:

Storage and data management.

Core virtualization features.

Compute resources for workloads.

NCI is designed for organizations that need the essential features of the Nutanix platform without additional add-ons such as database services (NDB) or advanced storage options (NUS).

Other options:

A. Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM):Focuses on management capabilities for multi-cloud and operational tasks, not core infrastructure licensing.

C. Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS):Specifically provides unified file and object storage capabilities, not relevant for a base AOS cluster.

D. Nutanix Database Service (NDB):A dedicated licensing tier for database management features.
