The Avi Controller can be deployed as a single VM or as a high availability cluster of 3 Avi Controller instances, each running on a separate VM.Įach Avi Service Engine runs on its own virtual machine. Note: Avi Controllers need access to the desired ESXi hosts (over port 443) to allow the Avi Controller-to-vCenter communication. To deploy a virtual service, the Avi Controller automatically selects an ESX server, spins up an Avi SE (described below), and connects it to the correct networks (port groups). Based on this auto-discovered information, virtual services can quickly be added using the web interface. Through vCenter, the Avi Controller discovers VMs, data centers, networks, and hosts. The Avi Controller stores and manages all policies related to services and management. The Avi Vantage Platform is built on software-defined architectural principles which separate the data plane and control plane. When deployed into a vCenter-managed VMware cloud, Avi Vantage performs as a fully distributed, virtualized system consisting of the Avi Controller and Avi Service Engines each running as a VM. It is recommended to use the built-in Virtual Service Migration functionality.Īvi Vantage runs on virtual machines (VMs) managed by VMware vCenter.For more information, refer to Manually Deploy Service Engines in Non-Default Tenant/Cloud. The same Service Engine image can be then used to deploy Service Engines in any tenant and cloud configured in the system.
