Has anyone successfully deployed Azure APIM's self-hosted gateway on Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP)?

According to the official Azure documentation on deploying a self-hosted gateway to Kubernetes with YAML, there's no restriction on which Kubernetes distribution you can use, as long as it's Kubernetes certified. The documentation mentions:
"Single-node clusters work well for development and evaluation purposes. Use Kubernetes Certified multi-node clusters on-premises or in the cloud for production workloads."
Given that Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) is a CNCF-certified Kubernetes distribution, I am considering deploying the self-hosted gateway on NKP.
I’d like to know:
Has anyone in the community successfully deployed Azure APIM's self-hosted gateway on NKP?
Were there any specific challenges, configuration tweaks, or dependencies encountered?
Are there any articles, blogs, or whitepapers documenting this deployment scenario?
Any insights or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!

2025-04-23T15:37:49.62+00:00 Thanks for your query.
I’ve checked with the Azure API Management (APIM) product team regarding your ask. They’ve confirmed that while Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) is a CNCF-certified Kubernetes distribution and should technically be supported, there is currently no official documentation available specifically for deploying the self-hosted gateway on NKP.
For reference, you can review the support policy and shared responsibilities for the self-hosted gateway deployment here: 🔗 https://aka.ms/apim/shgw/support/responsibilities
If you proceed with the deployment on NKP, feel free to share any findings or challenges—you may help others in the community as well.
Let me know if you need anything else!
