This white paper explores how Broadcom’s VMware Avi Load Balancer modernizes Kubernetes ingress management for enterprise environments facing growing complexity, security risks, and the retirement of Ingress NGINX. As Kubernetes adoption accelerates for cloud-native and AI applications, organizations require scalable, automated, and observable ingress solutions that support modern DevOps workflows and multi-cloud environments. Avi provides a software-defined platform that combines load balancing, security, analytics, Gateway API support, and lifecycle automation into a unified system integrated with VMware Cloud Foundation. Key capabilities include elastic auto-scaling, self-healing infrastructure, enterprise-grade web application firewall protection, post-quantum cryptography readiness, real-time analytics, and advanced traffic management for Kubernetes clusters. The platform aims to reduce operational complexity, improve resiliency and security, and help enterprises future-proof application delivery for AI-driven and large-scale production workloads.
