The CMDB CI Class Models store app adds or updates classes for the Avi load balancer.

The app adds class models that extend the CMDB class hierarchy, including class descriptions, identification rules, identifier entries, and dependent relationships if applicable. You can use the added classes as any other CMDB class. Applications such as Discovery and Service Mapping patterns can use these class extensions to populate CIs and discover various technologies and software.

Avi load balancer

The Avi Vantage platform is built on software-defined principles, enabling a next generation architecture to deliver the flexibility and simplicity expected by IT and lines of business. The Avi Vantage platform architecture separates the data and control planes to deliver application services beyond load balancing, such as application analytics, predictive autoscaling, micro-segmentation, and self-service, for app owners in on-premises or cloud environments. The platform provides a centrally managed, dynamic pool of load balancing resources on commodity x86 servers, virtual machines, or containers, to deliver granular services close to individual applications. Providing these services allows network services to scale near infinitely without the added complexity of managing hundreds of disparate appliances.

Discovery uses the Avi Vantage load balancer discovery pattern to find Avi load balancer resources.
