Installing NSX Advanced Load Balancer in Amazon Web Services

This section discusses integrating NSX Advanced Load Balancer with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

NSX Advanced Load Balancer offers elastic application services that extend beyond load balancing to deliver real-time application and security insights, simplify troubleshooting, auto-scale predictively, and enable developer self-service and automation in Amazon Web Services. The NSX Advanced Load Balancer Platform has the following three core components:

• The NSX Advanced Load Balancer Controller analyzes traffic and, based on real-time analytics, can scale out/scale in VS (in AWS, VS autoscaling capabilities is limited) to load-balance traffic that varies over time.

• SEs handle all data plane operations within NSX Advanced Load Balancer by receiving and executing instructions from the Controller. The SEs perform load balancing and handle client and server traffic.

• NSX Advanced Load Balancer admin console provides role-based access to control, manage, and monitor applications.
