An administrator is considering an NC2 cluster deployment within AWS.

In an NC2 on AWS deployment using Flow Virtual Networking (FVN),North-South traffic(traffic moving into or out of the Nutanix VPC) is handled via adistributed gateway model. Unlike traditional setups that might rely on a single bottleneck node, the distributed gateway model allows each Nutanix node in the cluster to participate in routing traffic to the AWS VPC router. This architecture provides high availability and scales performance linearly as nodes are added to the cluster. By distributing the gateway function, Nutanix ensures that no single point of failure exists for internet-bound or cross-VPC traffic, optimizing the path between Nutanix User VMs and native AWS services or the public internet.
