BIG-IP Configuration Management with Ansible


Event Date: February 21, 2024
Hosted By: F5, Red Hat & Carahsoft
Location: Annapolis Junction, MD
As the applications space continues to rapidly advance, the DoD is moving quickly to adopt an Automation and Orchestration strategy to help configure, manage, secure, and deploy both modern and traditional applications along with their data. F5 users can automate and orchestrate BIG-IP environments using Ansible through a series of integrations with the F5 BIG-IP API-called modules. These modules leverage the full API support implemented on F5 BIG-IP hardware and virtual platforms.
 
F5 and Ansible experts joined for a hands-on lab where attendees had real-world experience with F5 technology. The lab focused on setting up/configuring playbooks, adding nodes to F5 BIG-IP, adding a load balancing pool, and adding members to a pool on F5.
 
During the lab, attendees learned:
  • How Ansible F5 modules enable most common use cases
  • Automating the initial configurations on the BIG-IP like DNS, NTP etc.
  • Automation to Network on the BIG-IP (VLANS, Self-IPs)
  • Automated deployment of HTTP and HTTPS applications
  • Managing virtual-servers, pools, monitors, and other configuration objects

Tetrate Service Mesh Handbook

Service mesh is a relatively new architecture for application development and delivery. Service mesh has emerged in response to the challenges of digital transformation and application modernization, as it offers the consistent observability, connectivity, security, and resilience capabilities that modern microservices applications require. In the enterprise, service mesh plays a critical role in the areas of application modernization and cloud migration. It's a necessary tool for organizations that need a zero trust security posture, are managing multi-platform or multi[1]cloud environments, or a combination of the above.
