An administrator has installed and deployed NAI, but the UI is not launching. Which command should the administrator use to ensure that all pods are successfully deployed?

Nutanix AI (NAI), now known as Nutanix GPT-in-a-Box, deploys its core services, including the user interface, API server, and controllers, into a dedicated Kubernetes namespace called nai-system. When troubleshooting deployment issues, such as the UI failing to launch, the primary step is to inspect the status of the pods within this namespace. The command kubectl get pods -n nai-system allows an administrator to list all pods in that namespace and verify if they are in a Running state, which is crucial for diagnosing the root cause of the UI failure.

B. kubectl get pods -n knative-serving: This namespace contains pods for Knative, a dependency for model serving, not the core NAI UI and system components.
C. kubectl get pods -n kube-system: This namespace is reserved for essential Kubernetes cluster components and does not host NAI application pods.
D. kubectl get pods -n ntnx-base: This namespace is used for foundational Nutanix services that integrate with Kubernetes, such as the CSI driver, not the NAI application itself.

1. Nutanix GPT-in-a-Box Deployment and User Guide v2.0, Chapter: "Deploying GPT-in-a-Box", Section: "Verifying the Deployment". This section explicitly instructs the administrator to run kubectl get pods -n nai-system to check the status of all deployed pods after installation.

2. Nutanix University, Nutanix AI (NAI) Administration Courseware, Module: "NAI Architecture and Deployment", Topic: "Verifying NAI Installation". The course material identifies nai-system as the primary namespace for core NAI services and lists the verification command as a key post-installation step.
