Using Container Networking for Microservices Applications: A Red Hat Use Case

Enterprises can extend their VMware environment to the AWS Cloud with VMC on AWS. They realize the benefits of the cloud while enjoying the familiar tools and workflows of their on-prem VMware environment. However, load balancing and web application security can present a hurdle to seamless hybrid cloud operations with VMC on AWS. Traditional appliance-based load balancers fall short since they are simply not architected for the cloud and don’t offer the elasticity and automation needed. On the other hand, native cloud load balancers do not offer the full range of application delivery and app security features.

In this session, learn about:
- Load balancing considerations for VMC on AWS
- Avi’s Modern, cloud-native application delivery architecture
- Customer best practices for deploying load balancing in VMC on AWS
- How to rapidly provision applications with consistent services

VMware offers advanced, enterprise-grade load balancing for Horizon deployments. VMware Horizon customers can deliver virtual desktops and apps in record time across multiple sites or from the cloud while simplifying their operations. VMware’s integrated Avi Networks and Horizon solution help enterprises accelerate VDI deployments, simplify troubleshooting, and deliver great end-user experiences across any cloud.

In this deep-dive demo session, you learn to:
- Shorten and simplify the steps needed to deliver virtual desktops and apps
- Troubleshoot employee experience issues with point and click simplicity
- Eliminate costly over-provisioning of load balancers and save costs for VDI deployments
- Deploy load balancing consistently for virtual desktops in any cloud environment

Enterprises are provisioning virtual desktops across on-prem data centers, public clouds like Microsoft Azure, or on VMware Clouds such as VMC on AWS. With flexible cloud delivered options for VDI and application delivery, desktop teams are improving operations and simplifying the effort to deploy and maintain VDI infrastructure.

In this webinar, you will learn:
- The modern architecture for VDI deployments in any data center or cloud
- How to deploy load balancing natively in public cloud or on VMware cloud infrastructure
- The use of load balancing analytics to understand employee experience
- How to deploy secure, scalable virtual desktops

In 2019, even before the pandemic hit, the VMware IT team was suddenly faced with supporting a large number of remote workers from a couple of back-to-back company acquisitions. The VMware IT team needed a fast, efficient mechanism to stand up virtual desktops, provide secure access to employees in record time and troubleshoot any experience issues.

In this session:
- Hear how the team planned their deployment and succeeded in on-boarding the new employees in just a few days with the help of cloud-ready infrastructure.
- With use case discussions and interactive Q&A, learn best practices from the team that implemented the necessary load balancing and VDI infrastructure to ensure business continuity.

The unprecedented pandemic situation has fundamentally changed the way how we work, how IT delivers its services and how infrastructure needs to support remote working. VMware Horizon customers can now deliver virtual desktops and apps in record time– with the help of VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (Avi Networks) – across multiple sites while simplifying their operations.

The joint Horizon VDI solution continues to accelerate VDI deployments with easy troubleshooting and improved ways to consume per desktop load balancing.

In this webinar, you will learn how to:
- Simplify your infrastructure and operations to deliver virtual desktops and apps
- Troubleshoot end-user experience issues with point and click simplicity
- Eliminate costly over-provisioning of load balancers and save costs for VDI deployments
- Deploy load balancing consistently for virtual desktops in any cloud environment

Web application attacks and security breaches are on the rise. Meanwhile, traditional web application security solutions like appliance-based WAFs are too complex to manage, scale, and lack application security insights.

In this session, learn how to deploy elastic application security in any data center or cloud to protect against common attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and remote code execution. See how to combine application security visibility with positive security model, learning mode, IP reputation, and threat feeds to easily secure web applications.

"Learn how to help reduce complexity, management, and cost of your network operations:
Enhance your operational experience through secure, agile, and programmable cloud services
Enable proactive support - detect, remediate, collect and notify service failures automatically
Provide real-time application protection through live security threat intelligence feed for IP reputation, app signatures, and WAF CRS rules"

Enterprises find it challenging to provide real-time security, manage tickets and issues efficiently, and achieve simplified operations. How can you enable the SaaS experience in the data centers? VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (formerly Avi Networks) PULSE provides turnkey cloud services built to simplify enterprise’s operations, enhance supportability and provide real-time security threat protection delivered through a friction-less SaaS model.

Learn how to help reduce complexity, management, and cost of your network operations:

As enterprises modernize and build container-based Kubernetes applications, they are confronted with a lab-to-production gap that challenges their ability to operationalize the applications. App teams need to be in sync with networking and operations teams from quickly developing and validating Kubernetes applications in dev environments to deploying the applications to productions environments.

Is there a better approach than piecing together a mishmash of legacy or open-source tools that are disjointed and operationally complex? How can you deploy secure Kubernetes applications across hybrid cloud environments? And how can you provide a path to app modernization for your enterprise by bridging traditional and modern application components?

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

-Close the gap from lab-to-production and operationalize the deployment of heterogenous apps.
-Consolidate multi-cloud, north-south application delivery services using Avi including enterprise-grade L4 load balancing, ingress controller, GSLB, web application security, and powerful observability.
-Automate running distributed apps with secure east-west connectivity provided by Tanzu Service Mesh (TSM) within and across Kubernetes clusters and VM environments, full-service visibility, encryption, and authorization services.
-Learn how TSM for east-west and Avi for north-south enables connectivity, security, and observability for the Kubernetes apps.

See how VMware's integrated, cloud-native load balancer simplifies the delivery of Horizon cloud on Microsoft Azure. You will see how Avi's modern, distributed load balancers with central management speeds up deployments, simplifies operations, and reduces the cost of VDI deployments.

Also see how powerful analytics from the Avi platform give you network visibility and help you troubleshoot application performance and end user experience issues quickly without the need for TCP dumps or log exports.

Microsoft Azure is the public cloud environment preferred by many enterprises to deliver virtual desktops and apps. With Horizon Cloud, Avi Networks (now part of VMware) and Microsoft Azure, enterprises can set up infrastructure in just a few short hours and get scalable, turnkey VDI deployments to their remote employees.
