In the spirit of trying to push myself to document things a bit more in a blog format, I was made aware of a really good resource for port diagrams pushed out by a colleague, Artur Krzywdzinski , over at his blog vmwaremine.com.
While these diagrams MAY be dated (always check the latest documentation) since the original post was put up in 2014 (it’s definitely been updated recently) he does point to the originating KB’s and allows you to receive the diagrams in Visio format in order to update them as your needs dictate.
The info in these diagrams can be found on the Nutanix portal with a quick search, for example:

This is a really good image to include with any communication with an orgs network/security team to provide a visual understanding of each of the services vs just a list of TCP and/or UDP ports and an inbound or outbound designation, which can often times get confused.
The below diagram shows the port diagram for AOS and the ESXi hypervisor:
Similarly, the below shows the port diagram for AOS and the AHV hypervisor:
Artur has a number of other useful port diagrams, LEAP DR, Files, Objects, etc so please go check out his very well put together blog post.
