Point-and-Click Simplicity or Enterprise-Grade Application Security? Why Not Both!

Why encrypt with SSL/TLS in the first place? This is like asking why use car seats. It might be obvious now but just a few decades ago, it wasn’t uncommon for a group of unbuckled kids to be piled in the back of a car or truck (this would be a nightmare for parents today).

Last year, I had a bit of fun defending hardware appliances with my article Avi vs. F5: 9 Reasons Why Hardware is Better than Software. If you couldn’t tell, sarcasm is my first language.

In the last couple of years, we have seen a rapid shift in application architecture to a distributed microservices architecture—where monolithic and a bulky applications are decomposed into smaller individual services that can be independently changed, built, deployed and managed.

My colleague wrote a blog on What is “Intent-Based” Anyway? To see is to believe and that’s exactly what this blog “intends” to do. Let’s put your fingers on something tangible while catching you up on the next big thing that is “intent-based networking”.

Load Balancer Troubleshooting like a BADaaS. Get More Sleep with Avi's Load Balancer

Any vendor will tell you they have detailed analytics and an intuitive interface (GUI). They'll state that certain tasks can be done in “just a few clicks”. Most vendors over-promise their load balancer troubleshooting process and under-deliver in this area, which is why we at Avi Networks took up the challenge of showing (not just telling) how much better the troubleshooting experience can be with our load balancer.

Load Balancer Automation: Avi Networks is to the Jetsons as F5 Networks is to the Flintstones

Visit AviNetworks.com or F5 Networks’ website and there will be no shortage of the word “automation”. In fact, both load balancing solutions sound very much alike according to their marketing teams, but in practice they couldn’t be more different.

We now live in a multi-cloud world. And it makes sense. Enterprises need highly available applications that can support customers all over the globe. Hybrid and multi-cloud environments, the concept of managing multiple infrastructure environments together as one, give businesses choice and flexibility with their infrastructure. Why would you lock themselves into a single data center or a single cloud?

What is "Intent-Based" Anyway? The 3 Components of an Intent-Based Load Balancer

Chances are you’ve seen the phrase “intent-based application services” or “intent-based load balancer” (hint: that language is used all over Avi Networks' website). Application services refer to load balancing, WAF, and service mesh. But what about “intent-based”? Is “intent-based” just a bunch of marketing fluff? Actually, no. I’m well-versed in the fluff of industry peers. The story behind intent-based is straight forward.
