SOLUTION BRIEF Avi Vantage Platform: Service Mesh for Microservices Apps
MICROSERVICES AND THE EVOLUTION OF APPLICATIONS Application-centric enterprises are choosing microservices architectures to enable continuous application delivery and to take advantage of flexible container-based infrastructure models. Containers enable microservices architectures by breaking large applications into smaller services that can be deployed, developed and updated independently without causing major outages.
traditional appliance-based load balancers cannot support the vast amount of east-eest interactions
application services such as discovery of microservices, proxy services to manage service interactions, visibility, security, and automatic application scaling.
AVI VANTAGE PLATFORM FOR MICROSERVICES APPLICATIONS Avi Vantage separates the data plane (of distributed service proxies) and control plane (central management) to provide application services in an on-premises or cloud environment. Avi Vantage consists of a centralized Avi Controller cluster and distributed Avi Service Engines (distributed load balancers) running as containers. The Avi Controller integrates with the cluster management framework to automate the provisioning of service proxy instances. As applications are created, scaled out, and scaled in, and as cluster nodes are added and deleted, the Avi Controller automatically updates the proxy configuration in the cluster.
CHALLENGES
TRADITIONAL LOAD BALANCERS DON’T WORK FOR MICROSERVICESAppliance-based load balancers are cost-
microservices apps with lots of east-west
featured.
NO VISIBILITY OR APP ANALYTICSNeed to rely on multiple tools to gain visibility or gain insights
AUTOMATIONMicroservices applications require dynamic provisioning for non-disruptive updates.
SOLUTION
SERVICE MESHFull stack L4 – L7 services integrated with Mesos/Marathon, Docker Swarm, Rancher, and Kubernetes for fully automated, policy-driven deployments
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENTFull-featured load balancer with support
automated configuration updates
SERVICE DISCOVERYAutomatic discovery of microservices using DNS lookup
SECURITYMicro-segmentation, firewalling, SSL
VISIBILITYReal-time visibility into inter-service relationships and analytics with app maps
PREDICTIVE AUTOSCALEAutoscaling of applications based on predictive load and real-time performance
SOLUTION BRIEF
SERVICE MESH FOR MICROSERVICES APPLICATIONS For microservices applications, Avi Vantage integrates with container orchestration platforms such as Apache Mesos, Mesosphere DC/OS, Docker Swarm, Rancher, and Kubernetes to deliver comprehensive container services. These services include service discovery to identify
and DDoS protection; service visibility and performance monitoring; and predictive autoscaling of services across thousands of nodes. The platform adapts application services to changes in dynamic container-based environments with services spinning up or down and applications being updated or migrated. Avi Vantage enables administrators to automate operations and empowers developers with programmable self-service for application services. It also includes role-based access to enable developers to view a graphical map of services, their interactions, and application performance from a single dashboard.
