Use this skill whenever the user mentions load balancing, ingress, virtual services, pool members, AVI, NSX ALB, AKO, or application delivery in a VMware/NSX ALB or Tanzu/vSphere Kubernetes context. Directly handles: virtual service listing and enable/disable, pool member drain/enable, SSL certificate expiry checks, analytics and error logs, service engine health, AKO pod troubleshooting, AKO Helm config management, Ingress annotation validation, K8s-to-Controller sync diagnostics, and multi-cluster AKO overview. Always use it for "virtual service", "pool member", "AKO status", "AKO logs", "ingress diagnose", "ssl expiry", "load balancer", "NSX ALB", "AVI controller", "AKO sync", or "负载均衡" tasks. Do NOT use to set up or configure nginx/HAProxy/Traefik from scratch — those are not AVI tasks. For VM lifecycle use vmware-aiops, for NSX networking use vmware-nsx, for Kubernetes cluster lifecycle (Supervisor/TKC) use vmware-vks.
