The AI storm is here, is your Kubernetes platform prepared? To prevent AI workloads from overwhelming your infrastructure, getting an action plan ready to operationalize your Kubernetes ingress is essential.   

We will demonstrate how VMware Avi Load Balancer (Avi) integrates with vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) as a consolidated solution to meet modern ingress needs with speed and agility. And if the NGINX Ingress retirement has you scrambling, we will reveal how the Avi Conversion Tool (ACT) can simplify your NGINX migration to Avi!

We will cover:

• Plug-and-Play VCF Integration: Automate lifecycle management and accelerate app deployment with Avi Kubernetes Operator (AKO) natively within VKS.
• Modernized Ingress: Prepare for the future with native Gateway API support and a seamless migration path away from NGINX Ingress.
• All-in-one Enterprise Readiness: Handle the massive scale of AI workloads with elastic scaling and consolidated L4–L7 services, including GSLB, WAF, and DNS/IPAM.
• Deep Visibility and Rapid Troubleshooting: Leverage real-time analytics and telemetry to proactively root cause app issues and security threats.
• Application Resiliency: Ensure DR and active-active HA for multi-site mission-critical workloads with Avi Multi-Cluster Kubernetes Operator (AMKO). 

Register now to walk away with the necessary tools to operationalize your Kubernetes infrastructure into a high-performance, secure, and automated environment.
