Re:    Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S‑8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by Nutanix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about the date hereof, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 10,097,453 shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (which plan is referred to herein as the “2016 Plan” and which shares of Class A Common stock are referred to herein as the “Shares”).
