 ### Optional
 
-- `cloud` (String) Specify the infrastructure provider the cluster profile is for. Only Palette supported infrastructure providers can be used. The  supported cloud types are - `all, aws, azure, gcp, vsphere, openstack, maas, virtual, baremetal, eks, aks, edge, edge-native, tencent, tke, generic, and gke`,If the value is set to `all`, then the type must be set to `add-on`. Otherwise, the cluster profile may be incompatible with other providers. Default value is `all`.
+- `cloud` (String) Specify the infrastructure provider the cluster profile is for. Only Palette supported infrastructure providers can be used. The supported cloud types are - `all, aws, azure, gcp, vsphere, openstack, maas, virtual, baremetal, eks, aks, edge, edge-native, tencent, tke, generic, and gke` or any custom cloud provider registered in Palette, e.g., `nutanix`.If the value is set to `all`, then the type must be set to `add-on`. Otherwise, the cluster profile may be incompatible with other providers. Default value is `all`.
 - `context` (String) The context of the cluster profile. Allowed values are `project` or `tenant`. Default value is `project`. If  the `project` context is specified, the project name will sourced from the provider configuration parameter [`project_name`](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/spectrocloud/spectrocloud/latest/docs#schema).
