Register for the next one https://info.avinetworks.com/workshops Part 1 (30 mins): A virtual workshop to showcase the dramatic shift in modern load balancing. Part 2 (1 hour): Experience our hands-on lab environment and explore Avi Networks use cases. During the workshop, you'll learn from an expert: - Why a new way of software-defined application delivery is needed - What the architecture should be for modern load balancing and application services - How to create highly automated and consistent deployments across data centers and public clouds - How to troubleshoot and garner application insights without TCPdumps
