VMware Avi Load Balancer Enterprise (AVI-LB-ENT-C) is a software-defined, full-featured application delivery controller built on a distributed, cloud-native architecture. Unlike traditional hardware-based load balancers, Avi decouples the data plane from the control plane, deploying Service Engines as software instances across bare-metal, virtual machine, or container environments. The platform provides elastic L4 through L7 load balancing, SSL/TLS offload, Web Application Firewall (WAF), application analytics, and automated autoscaling—all managed through a centralized Avi Controller cluster that offers a unified REST API, GUI, and CLI.
The Enterprise tier unlocks the full breadth of Avi capabilities, including advanced WAF with OWASP Core Rule Set support, bot management, DNS-based load balancing (GSLB) for multi-site active-active and active-standby topologies, container ingress services for Kubernetes and OpenShift environments, and deep per-transaction application performance analytics. Avi integrates natively with VMware vSphere, VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), NSX, Tanzu Kubernetes Grid, and major public clouds including AWS, Azure, and GCP, making it suitable for hybrid and multi-cloud application delivery strategies. The platform supports automation-first operations through Ansible, Terraform, and Kubernetes Operator integrations.
VMware Avi Load Balancer Enterprise is purpose-built for organizations requiring consistent, policy-driven application delivery across heterogeneous infrastructure. Target workloads include mission-critical web applications, microservices running in containerized environments, enterprise SaaS platforms, and large-scale multi-tenant environments. As a core component of VMware Cloud Foundation, Avi provides the networking and security services layer for application delivery, enabling infrastructure teams to replace legacy appliance-based ADCs with a fully automated, programmable, and operationally scalable solution.
