Broadcom announced new capabilities for VMware Avi Load Balancer designed to optimize load balancing for both VCF and Kubernetes environments.
These enhancements focus on automation, resilience, and future-proofing operations, with key updates including:
- Large-Scale Deployments Support: Increased scale by ~2X to support enterprise workloads and 3X+ to improve secure sockets layer (SSL) performance.
- Improved application resiliency with HA with Multi-AZ Support: For more robust and granular failure handling, Avi Load Balancer supports multi availability zone (AZ) across both VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) deployments.
- Enhanced Gateway API Support for Kubernetes: Avi Load Balancer is now fully integrated with Tanzu Platform for Kubernetes. This integration leverages next-gen ingress Gateway API, provides first-class observability and analytics, and integrates Avi GSLB for multi-cluster, multi-site support.
- Accelerated migration off legacy load balancers: Avi Load Balancer Conversion Tool is now generally available to customers.
- Upgrade Intelligence with Dry Run Capabilities: The dry run feature for Avi Controllers allows enterprises to test upgrades in a risk-free and isolated environment, ensuring everything works smoothly before going live.
