Aura Ops Utility
Nutanix + Pure Observability Utility
In hybrid-cloud environments, storage drift—the gradual and often unnoticed consumption of capacity—is a leading cause of application downtime. Aura-Ops was created to provide a “single pane of glass” that fuses telemetry from Pure Storage FlashArrays with the resilience of Nutanix AOS to ensure zero-dark-hour storage outages.
Traditionally, IT teams manually monitor capacity thresholds across different vendors. This tool solves the “Siloed Data Problem” by using AI to correlate storage growth patterns on Pure with Nutanix snapshot policies, predicting exhaustion before it happens and automating the remediation path.
Live Engineering Validation
Aura-Ops is built in the open. During our initial community rollout, the utility underwent technical peer review by senior engineers at Pure Storage.
“Interesting… any snap on the FA will at least be crash consistent. Managed/integrated Nutanix snapshots though right now… are totally supported.”
— Cody Hosterman & David (iamddavee), Pure Storage Engineering Team
The Outcome: Based on this feedback, we have updated our Production Roadmap to include CBT-Aware Orchestration, evolving from crash-consistent snapshots to full hypervisor-consistent handshakes.
Key Features
- Predictive Analysis: Uses LLM-driven insights to calculate the exact date of capacity exhaustion based on 30-day drift patterns.
- BYOI (Bring Your Own Infrastructure): Securely test live arrays using browser LocalStorage; credentials never touch our database.
- Closed-Loop Remediation: Integrates monitoring directly with hardware-level action to reduce “Time-to-Resolution”.
- Branded Reporting: One-click PDF export for executive “Health Audits” and compliance documentation.
