Supervisor with "NSX + DTGW/VNA"

This section describes the procedures for provisioning and managing Network Services within a VKS Namespace utilizing a "VDS + FLB" architecture" inside a vSphere environment.

VDS Architecture

Network Services: VM Load Balancers

The primary use case for configuring a VM Load Balancer is to efficiently distribute inbound network traffic across a designated pool of backend Virtual Machines.

Topology

Current Limitation: No Application Health Checks

Currently, the vCenter Namespace VM Load Balancer does not perform application-level health checks on backend VMs.
If a backend VM goes down, the load balancer VIP will continue forwarding traffic to it.
This section will be updated once active health monitoring becomes officially available.

Create a VM Load Balancer

In the "VDS + FLB" architecture", the load balancer service is only available via CLI.
See Application Deployment > App Deployment (VMs) > via CLI.

Validate VM Load Balancer

See Application Deployment > App Deployment (VMs) > via CLI.
