Avi Networks
Avi Networks is a multi-cloud application delivery platform that provides load balancing, web application firewall (WAF), and analytics capabilities. It is now part of VMware as the NSX Advanced Load Balancer, offering software-defined application services for modern applications across data centers and public clouds.
Developers should learn Avi Networks when building scalable, secure applications in multi-cloud or hybrid environments, as it simplifies load balancing and security with automation and real-time analytics. It is particularly useful for DevOps teams implementing continuous delivery pipelines, microservices architectures, or needing centralized management for application traffic across Kubernetes, VMware, and public clouds like AWS or Azure.
