feat: Add Nutanix v4.2 Python SDK documentation (13 packages)

[seli-equinix]

What

Community-contributed documentation for the Nutanix v4.2 Python SDK, covering all 12 namespace-specific packages plus a unified SDK overview.

• 112 API classes and 644 methods across 13 packages
• Each DOC.md includes accurate function signatures, parameter details, usage examples, and common patterns
• Follows the existing content/<vendor>/docs/<package>/python/DOC.md structure
• Metadata uses source: community as per convention

Packages Added

Package	Description
nutanix-sdk	Overview + shared authentication/client patterns
nutanix-vmm	VM management (create, power, migrate, snapshots)
nutanix-clustermgmt	Clusters, hosts, storage containers
nutanix-networking	Subnets, VPCs, floating IPs, VPN
nutanix-prism	Tasks, categories, batch operations
nutanix-dataprotection	DR, recovery points, protection policies
nutanix-datapolicies	Replication, protection rules
nutanix-monitoring	Alerts, audit trails, health checks
nutanix-volumes	Volume groups, iSCSI targets
nutanix-lifecycle	LCM inventory, firmware updates
nutanix-licensing	License management
nutanix-microseg	Flow network security policies
nutanix-aiops	Capacity planning, what-if scenarios

Why

Nutanix runs a significant share of enterprise HCI infrastructure, but LLMs consistently hallucinate its SDK signatures — wrong package names, incorrect import patterns, non-existent methods. These docs give coding agents accurate reference material for the v4.2 SDK.

All function signatures and patterns were verified against the real installed SDK packages from PyPI (pip install ntnx-*-py-client). The Copilot review flagged 7 issues (version inconsistencies, wrong attribute names, undefined parameters) — all were verified against the SDK source and fixed:

• TaskStatus enum uses CANCELED (single L), not CANCELLED — verified via ntnx_prism_py_client.models.prism.v4.config.Task.TaskStatus
• Configuration.backoff_factor is the correct attribute — backoff_multiplier does not exist on the class
• ntnx-licensing-py-client==4.2.1 exists on PyPI (was incorrectly listed as 4.3.1)
• ntnx-aiops-py-client only has 4.2.1b1 beta — no stable 4.2.1 release (version note added)

Testing

• npm test passes (231/231 tests)
• chub build content/ --validate-only succeeds (1566 docs, 0 errors)
• All DOC.md files under 500-line guideline (largest: nutanix-vmm at 491 lines)
• All frontmatter validated (name, description, metadata.languages, metadata.versions, metadata.source)
• SDK signatures verified against installed packages (pip install --no-deps ntnx-*-py-client==4.2.1)

chub search nutanix
chub get nutanix/nutanix-vmm --lang py

Notes

• The aiops namespace only has a beta release (4.2.1b1) on PyPI — a version note is included in the SDK overview doc
• Reference files are in references/ subdirectories for the three largest namespaces (vmm, clustermgmt, networking) to keep the main DOC.md under 500 lines
• All 13 DOC.md files share a consistent wait_for_task(prism_client, ...) helper pattern that matches the canonical definition in the SDK overview doc

Pull request overview

Adds community-sourced documentation for the Nutanix v4.2 Python SDK, following the repo’s content/<vendor>/docs/<package>/python/DOC.md layout, to provide reliable reference material for coding agents and developers.

Changes:

• Added per-namespace Python SDK guides for Nutanix (vmm, prism, networking, clustermgmt, volumes, etc.).
• Added “complete reference” markdowns for selected large APIs (e.g., VMM VmApi, Clustermgmt ClustersApi, Networking API class list).
• Added a unified SDK overview doc describing shared auth/client patterns, task polling, ETag usage, and OData filtering.
