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.

### Recommended Practices:

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.
