In this blog post, we’ll explore a specific use case where traffic from VMware Aria Operations Nodes is directed to specific VMware Cloud Director (VCD) cells, while regular user traffic is routed to different cells. This use case can be especially beneficial when a six cell design is being used. Use Case: Separate Traffic for Operations and Users In this scenario, the VMware Cloud Director setup consists of six cells, all sitting behind a single virtual IP (VIP). ...

Introduction Traffic emulators play a key role in testing the reliability and performance of networks. They are used to check the impact of high data traffic on the network infrastructure. This ensures that applications work in production and can withstand high loads. Not only applications, but also load balancers can be tested and sized accordingly with the help of traffic emulators. Load Balancer Basics Before we dive into the detailed installation of VMware TENS (Traffic Emulator for Network Service) and a specific use case, we will first explain the basics of a load balancer. Let’s start with the basic question: What is a load balancer? ...
