VMware NSX as a Security Platform

Until now, there have really only been two enforcement points for security controls at our disposal: in the OS, and the Network. Each has their strengths and weaknesses. VMware NSX changes our options by opening up a new frontier for security, and the unique capabilities only a virtualized environment can offer.

VMware NSX Load Balancing

In this video we explore how VMware NSX provides load balancing services with the Edge Services Gateway, how the ESG can be leveraged to provide services on demand, and allow you to pursue the DevOPs model with NSX. Additionally, we will take a look at a Tech Preview feature of NSX, the Distributed Load Balancer, why it matters, and what it means for you.

Distributed Routing in a VMware NSX Environment

The Distributed Logical Router (DLR) in the VMware NSX platform provides an optimized and scalable way of handling East – West traffic within a data center. East – West traffic is the communication between workloads residing within the same data center, which is only increasing in modern data centers. In order to route between segments, traffic must be forwarded to a routing device, rather than directly to its destination. This non-optimal traffic flow is generally referred to as “hair pinning”.

The DLR component of the NSX platform prevents the “hair-pinning” by introducing an East – West routing element within the hypervisor kernel. Each host has a routing kernel module can perform routing between the segments its hosted virtual machines are connected to. The DLR is capable of advertising those connected networks to other routing devices by way of the OSPF and BGP dynamic routing protocols

Layer 2 Bridging in VMware NSX

Not all virtual networks are going to be connected to the physical world in the same way; some VXLAN logical switches may need to be directly layer 2 adjacent to an existing VLAN backed network, or need to reach a gateway or service interface that resides on a physically defined VLAN. These are some reasons VLAN to VXLAN bridge(s) may need to be implemented within VMware NSX. This is most common in the case of a migration effort to, or if a layer 2 domain containing workloads attached to both VXLAN and VLAN backed networks required.
