Aviatrix Zero Trust for Workloads vs Contrail Service Orchestration

Aviatrix Zero Trust for Workloads applies runtime security policies to virtual machines, containers and serverless workloads. It governs traffic between workloads and between workloads and the internet, aiming to prevent lateral movement and data exfiltration. The product runs inline in existing cloud architectures; Aviatrix says deployment requires neither network redesign nor application disruption. Named cloud environments are AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Identity-aware policies and SmartGroups use workload metadata, tags and namespaces to set least-privilege communication rules that follow workloads as they scale or move. Distributed inspection is described as stopping exploit traffic, malware and unauthorized communication in real time. Outbound controls include selective NAT, domain filtering and geographic filtering. Aviatrix says it encrypts workload-to-workload, north-south and cloud-to-cloud traffic at line rate without hardware or agents. CoPilot Telemetry provides visibility and compliance evidence, and the product describes alignment with HIPAA 2025, PCI DSS 4.0, NIS2 and DORA. Pricing is available on request.
