Deploying applications at the speed of business requires an enterprise-grade load balancer. VMware Avi Load Balancer (Avi) continues to enhance its integration with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.1, breaking down operational barriers between app and infrastructure teams with a unified, software-defined app delivery stack while maintaining full control.
- Accelerated Avi deployment: Integration with VCF Operations streamlines Day 0-2 operations at scale with seamless workflows and fully automated deployment and lifecycle management.
- Zero-touch Kubernetes Ingress: Fully automated Avi Kubernetes Operator (AKO) deployment with VMware Kubernetes Service (VKS) delivers LBaaS at the speed of Kubernetes. Avi Conversion Tool automates migration from Ingress NGINX to Avi.
- Self-Service Application Delivery: VCF Automation Integration provides DevOps teams isolated tenant views to provision load balancers as code.
- Improved Efficiency for Multi-tenant Environments: Ability to share load balancers across multiple tenants optimizes resources utilization with flexible provider-centric deployment models.
- Plug-and-play load balancing for Agentic AI: MCP support with session persistence, JWT authentication and visibility enables resiliency and security for AI apps on VCF.
