I wonder if they had to build the new Gateway Load Balancer in their implementation of this, so they decided to turn it into a product as well.

- russellendicott 6y agoIt was a key dependency for this and they also broke it out into a separate product.
- therockspush 6y agoThis was also something AWS was a couple years behind Azure on. Azure internal load balancers have some hang ups, but load balancing egress or east-west traffic across security appliances in AWS has always been diabolical in comparison. I've never used the Geneve protocol, so I can't really tell if this is going to affect which vendors can use the GWLB.
- p0rkbelly 6y agoAzure had more specific routing capabilities, yes. But they can't do what this does and maintain the flow stickiness and sessions and scale out.
- jcims 6y agoMakes total sense. I haven't tried it yet but it would have really made life easier for me a couple of years ago. :)
