2V0-71.23 Question 326
Select 3Your organization is deploying a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) environment and plans to use the NSX Advanced Load Balancer (ALB) for traffic management. The team wants to ensure scalability, high availability, and intelligent traffic routing for their applications running in Kubernetes. Which NSX Advanced Load Balancer features will help achieve these goals?
- A
Elastic scaling of load balancers to handle variable traffic loads
- B
Built-in Web Application Firewall (WAF) for application security
- C
Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) for intelligent traffic routing across multiple sites
- D
Kubernetes Ingress integration for dynamic service discovery
- E
Direct attachment of virtual services to physical network interfaces for low latency
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
NSX Advanced Load Balancer provides essential features such as elastic scaling, Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB), and Kubernetes Ingress integration, which are critical for scalability, high availability, and intelligent traffic routing in Tanzu Kubernetes Grid environments. These capabilities ensure that the load balancer can dynamically adjust to changing traffic loads, route traffic intelligently across multiple sites, and integrate seamlessly with Kubernetes-native constructs for effective traffic management.
- A. Correct.
Elastic scaling is a core capability of NSX Advanced Load Balancer that ensures load balancers can scale up or down automatically based on traffic demands, making it ideal for handling variable workloads in Kubernetes environments.
- B. Incorrect.
While NSX Advanced Load Balancer includes WAF capabilities, this feature is focused on application security rather than traffic management, scalability, or intelligent routing.
- C. Correct.
Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) is a feature of NSX ALB that enables intelligent traffic routing across multiple sites, ensuring high availability and optimized performance.
- D. Correct.
NSX Advanced Load Balancer supports Kubernetes Ingress integration, allowing seamless dynamic service discovery and traffic management for Kubernetes applications.
- E. Incorrect.
Direct attachment of virtual services to physical network interfaces is not a feature of NSX Advanced Load Balancer. Instead, NSX ALB uses virtual services and Service Engines to manage traffic efficiently without relying on direct physical connectivity.
