What type of routing does Aviatrix use to manage traffic between cloud environments?

Aviatrix utilizes dynamic routing through BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) to manage traffic between cloud environments. This approach provides numerous advantages, particularly as it allows for the automatic exchange of routing information between multiple environments. BGP is a scalable and robust protocol, well-suited for managing complex multicloud network architectures where multiple paths and routes can exist.

By employing dynamic routing with BGP, Aviatrix enables seamless integration and communication across different cloud providers, enhancing the efficiency of routing decisions. It also facilitates the ability to adapt to changes in the network topology, such as adding or removing cloud regions or virtual network gateways. This flexibility is crucial for organizations operating in a dynamic cloud environment where workloads may scale rapidly.

While static routing can be simpler and easier to implement for straightforward scenarios, it lacks the adaptability that dynamic routing provides. Policy-based routing and access control list routing focus on defining rules for traffic flow rather than optimizing the discovery and adjacency of routes across multicloud infrastructures. Thus, choosing dynamic routing through BGP best fits Aviatrix's purpose of efficiently managing complex traffic scenarios across diverse cloud services.
