Updated onArticleGlobal server loading balancing (GSLB) is the act of balancing an application’s load across instances of the application that have been deployed to multiple locations (typically, multiple data centers and/or public clouds). Application load at any one of those locations is usually managed by a “local” load balancer, which could be Avi Vantage or a third-party ADC solution.

Section 1: About this experience and Accessing the Lab
Updated onArticleVMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (Avi Networks) uses a software-defined architecture that separates the central control plane (Avi Controller) from the distributed data plane (Avi Service Engines). NSX Advanced Load Balancer is 100% REST API based, making it fully automatable and seamless with the CI/CD pipeline for application delivery. The Avi Controller is the “brain” of the entire system and acts as a single point of intelligence, management, and control for the distributed data plane. The Avi SE represent full-featured, enterprise-grade load balancers, web application firewall (WAF), and analytics that provide traffic management and application security while collecting real-time analytics from the traffic flows. The Avi Controller provides comprehensive observability based on closed-loop telemetry and presents actionable insights to make decisions based on application monitoring, end-to-end timing, searchable traffic logs, security insights, log insights, client insights, and more.
Follow the steps below for a quick start of the VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer TestDrive environment.
