AVI Networks

AVI Networks builds a software-defined application delivery platform - the Avi Vantage Platform / Avi Load Balancer - providing multi-cloud load balancing, web application firewall (WAF), GSLB, container ingress, and analytics driven by a central Avi Controller with a fully programmable REST API. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, AVI Networks was acquired by VMware in 2019 and the product is now offered by Broadcom as the VMware Avi Load Balancer. The controller exposes a comprehensive REST API with first-party Python, Go, and Java SDKs, a Terraform provider, and Ansible automation for intent-based, self-service application services across VMware, AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack, and bare-metal environments.

AVI Networks is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Infrastructure, Load Balancing, Application Delivery, and Networking.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/avi-networks: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
