Multi-cloud load balancing presents challenges around separate control points, limited features, lack of automation and elasticity, and inability to ensure consistency across clouds. Avi Networks addresses these challenges with a software-defined load balancing architecture that provides consistent application services across multiple cloud fabrics. It features built-in integrations with leading cloud platforms, a centralized controller, and software load balancers for elasticity. Avi aims to improve operational efficiency, consistency, and time-to-market for applications in multi-cloud environments.

- 3. What is Multi-Cloud? • Public cloud only? – Traditional and cloud-native apps • Multiple Clouds vs. Multi-Cloud – Operational consistency • What if you could treat everything as a “Cloud” and have a “Single” platform
- 4. Multi-Cloud is Both the Challenge and the Opportunity • 81% has multi-cloud strategy • On average, enterprises have almost 5 clouds • Running 3.1 clouds • Experimenting 1.7 clouds • 2.7 public clouds • 3.0 private clouds

Editor's Notes
- Visual cues: Appliance sprawling Time to manually provision Peak loads create hot spot Capacity management requires manual VIP placement lack of capacity pooling results in wasted capacity Planning for peak workloads require overprovisioning Separate control points Managing 100s of LB pairs result in operational complexity Time-consuming upgrades
- 100% software defined Built for scale / max utilization – A/A vs A/S – control plane separated from data plane Built for speed – scale out / horizontal architecture – add capacity on demand Flexible management – manage resources, and policies, seamlessly across your workloads from a single platform Granular analytics and visibility – real-time metrics / logs / triage for system health and solving mean time to resolution Automation and Orchestration – pre-built playbooks for Teraform and Ansible, and 100% rest API under the hood for seamless integrations Consistent experience - any app – any infrastructure – anywhere – one Avi – on-prem in the DC / bare metal – virtual – multi-cloud (AWS – Azure – GCP) - containers (Docker / K8’s) – service mesh (Istio) Max resiliency and HA – automatically redistribute workloads as needed across a flexible pool of capacity Responsiveness – accelerate CI/CD and never lets your initiatives slow you down GSLB – easily scale across zones and regions
- 5. Automation – again it’s more than REST APIs and Ecosystem integration. Avi takes the analytics and feed into the controller (”brain”) to achieve autoscaling and full lifecycle management. It allows you to specify an intent, Avi does the automation and orchestration required to achieve the outcomes. What makes automation increasingly important is that it’s the critical step to finally operationalize digital transformation – from vision to reality.
- Next, I am going to talk about how Avi delivers these fundamental values. They need a solid foundation and 5 key building blocks. Avi Vantage Platform – 100% software defined, scalable and distributed modern architecture that best matches the new generation of applications Analytics – visibility is to see which is an important first step. The true value to businesses however comes from actionable insights that can help make better decisions Automation – again it’s more than REST APIs and Ecosystem integration. What makes automation increasingly important is that it’s the critical step to finally operationalize digital transformation – from vision to reality. Let me now go through each of these steps in details. Software defined principle – our architecture separates the control plane and data plane. It allows centralized management and policies with distributed data plane referred to as Ses. SEs can scale out and in automatically – seamless scaling based on workloads. Automation is really the invisible secret sauce that makes this possible. And to make full-stack automation, it’s key to integrate into a rich set of ecosystem with 100% clean REST APIs. SEs can be deployed across heterogeneous environment – x86 bare metal servers, in virtualized environments or along side containers in both on-prem data centers, private clouds and public clouds. Multi-cloud is important not only due to the flexibility and freedom it allows but also reduces your risk of being forced to put all your eggs in one basket. Ultimately, what’s driving all these is the intelligence Avi’s built in analytics brings. It helps your teams work smarter, your infrastructure to react to changing demands faster and enable you to make wiser decisions.
- Here is a portfolio of Avi’s product capabilities. As mentioned before, application services Avi provides go beyond load balancing into security such as intelligent WAF and service mesh for container networking. Avi helps make your application PEAK ready, SECURITY ready and CLOUD-NATIVE ready all on one platform – the intent-based application services platform. You specify intents and we do the heavy lifting.
