iIntroduction
Load balancing isn’t just about managing
traffic anymore. As your infrastructure
expands to include applications in
public, private, and hybrid clouds,
traffic management has evolved from
a technology function to a business
function that delivers value to the
business as a whole.
It has also become complex. The
average enterprise is running
applications in at least five clouds with
over 900+ applications. And most clouds
have their own load balancers.
Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services
(AWS) and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
have native load balancing that
provides basic traffic management,
and such solutions are good for simple
applications deployed in one location
or domain. But as your multi-cloud
environment becomes more and more
complex, how do you ensure effective
load balancing for your application
services deployed in the clouds? Here
are five ways to help unravel your
cloud complexity.
Performance and Reliability
of Your Applications Is Critical
to Your Business Visibility
and Analytics
Advanced load balancing solution
keeps your apps running with efficiency
and reliability in a number of ways. They
use machine learning to set baselines
for application performance, user
behavior, etc., so you have visibility into
which assets are doing well and which
may be due for an overhaul or have
reached end of life.
When a problem is discovered,
contextual information helps your
operations team troubleshoot faster
and more efficiently so the customer
experience can continue with little or
no interruption, and anomaly detection
can be used to drive proactive and even
predictive responses. u
