The default NSX topology for Azure VMware Solution, where all traffic exits through the default Tier-1 Gateway, may not be optimal based on customer traffic flows and throughput requirements. Here are some potential challenges and the recommended configurations to optimize the NSX Edge data path resource.

It is possible to change the NSX North-bound network connectivity to distribute the traffic evenly to both Edge VMs. Creating an additional Tier-1 Gateways and distributing the NSX segments across multiple Tier-1 Gateways evenly distributes traffic across the Edge VMs. For an HCX migration use case, the recommendation would be to move HCX Layer 2 (L2) Extension and migration traffic to a newly created Tier-1 Gateway, so it uses the NSX Edge resource optimally.

To make an Active Edge for a given Tier-1 Gateway predictable, it is recommended to create an additional Tier-1 Gateway with the High Availability (HA) Mode set to Active/Standby with the Failover mode set to preemptive. This configuration allows you to select a different active Edge VM then the one in use by the default Tier-1 Gateway. This naturally splits north-bound traffic across multiple Tier-1 Gateways, so both NSX Edges are optimally utilized, thus avoiding a potential bottleneck with the default NSX topology.
