DevOps
DevOps is a software development and application delivery method that takes a collaborative and integrated approach between application development (the Dev) and application operations (the Ops). The goal of DevOps is to deliver applications faster, at an increased frequency and with a lower failure rate.
As development processes such as Agile provide a framework for rapid delivery of software, this same approach can be used through the complete application delivery process. Technologies such as virtualization and data center automation enable application delivery as a business-as-usual operation with a DevOps model.
VIRA INFOTECH support DevOps efforts by including wide API and Platform integrations that simplify the automation of application delivery in development, test and operations.
Restful API
All Load Master functionality is exposed through our RESTful API to allow configuration and control of Load Master deployments from existing frameworks and tools used by organizations. The API may be used for a wide range of purposes ranging from automated configuration of services on Load Master platforms through to enabling workflows for dynamic provisioning of application capacity. The RESTful API is HTTPS based offering the maximum interoperability and integration with existing provisioning and operational frameworks such as virtualization management, performance monitoring and B/OSS systems.
PowerShell
Load Master includes a complete PowerShell module that implements the complete product API to simplify administration and configuration. The module can be used to control Load Master instances deployed on any supported platform including on-premise hypervisors, hardware appliances, bare-metal appliances and public cloud. The module is fully documented includes built-in help that describes the function and syntax of each command.
LoadMaster Java API
The Load Master Java API exposes application delivery control to Java based environments whether to monitor application workloads or to dynamically configure virtual services. An example use case is the dynamic addition of additional real servers where a Java application or framework has increased application capacity. The Load Master Java API implements all the appliance features giving Java developers total control over application delivery functions including security, performance, deployment and scaling.
OpenStack
The OpenStack L BaaS interface allows the deployment of commercial and open source load balancers as part of an OpenStack IaaS environment. VIRA INFOTECH have developed an L BaaS driver that allows integration, configuration and management of Load Master load balancers via the OpenStack management interface. Load Master offers significant additional features for application delivery and security that can be configured directly on the Load Master environment.
VMware vRealize Operations
VIRA INFOTECH Virtual Load Master (VLM) can be deployed and managed using automation tools in v ROps. v ROps can instantiate a Load Master, monitor it and provide detailed statistics and information regarding its health within the v ROps architecture.
Docker Containerized Version
VIRA INFOTECH Containerized Load Master (CLM), brings load balancing to Docker to support services and applications that are deployed across multiple containers. The CLM is in itself containerized for simple and consistent operation of application delivery in a Docker environment.
