What occurs when the Aviatrix components need upgrades?

When Aviatrix components undergo upgrades, the process is designed to be hitless, meaning that there is no downtime experienced during the upgrade. This hitless upgrade capability is crucial for maintaining the availability and reliability of multicloud network environments, as it allows for continuous service without interrupting the flow of data or affecting ongoing operations.

The ability to perform hitless upgrades reflects Aviatrix's commitment to enhancing network performance while minimizing disruptions. This mechanism ensures that critical network services remain operational, even as underlying components are updated. Consequently, users can benefit from new features, enhancements, and security improvements without worrying about service interruptions.

Other considerations around upgrades, such as whether controllers or gateways need to be rebooted, are not applicable in this context, as the hitless upgrades specifically avoid these interruptions. This facet of Aviatrix is vital for organizations that require seamless operation in their cloud networking environments.
