Overview
This topic explains the ULB deployment architecture, including key components, workflows, requirements, and expected outcomes for technical implementation and operations.
The following diagram illustrates a typical deployment model of ULB.
ULB can be deployed both on-premises and cloud platform, providing a unified load-balancing abstraction that simplifies application usage and integration.
-
On-Premise:
-
The service integrates with on-premise environments featuring leaf-spine network architecture, leveraging BGP and BFD protocols for robust route advertisement and rapid path failure detection.
-
-
Cloud:
-
For public cloud deployments, the service publishes routes with equal priority to facilitate faster convergence during failure events and maintains balanced traffic distribution across worker nodes.
-
Deployment of ULB on the cloud platform is not qualified in this release. Contact your Cisco account representative for more information.
