Explanation

In Nutanix Prism's capacity planning, Overall Runway is a composite metric that projects when cluster resources will be exhausted based on current growth trends. Even when the runway drops below the 365-day threshold, the cluster can still be considered healthy if the newly added workloads are sustainable - meaning their resource consumption rate is steady and predictable, not exponentially growing. A sub-365-day runway triggers an advisory warning, but 'good shape' status is determined by whether the growth pattern poses an imminent risk. Sustainable workloads indicate a stable growth curve, which is why the cluster health indicator remains positive despite the runway dipping below one year.
