F5 DC Seminar Series

The pace at which applications are developed and deployed continues to accelerate, bringing tangible benefits to businesses and their customers. To keep up, businesses are looking to eliminate IT bottlenecks through models like DevOps to improve internal processes, and automation to speed up workflows. 

 

Ansible's simple network automation framework includes native support for both legacy and open network devices. This framework separates the Ansible Playbook from the Ansibleengine, allowing your Ansible automations to span your entire network stack, like network switches, appliances, etc. F5 users can automate and orchestrate using Ansible through a series of integrations with the F5 BIG-IP API-call "modules." These modules leverage the full API support implemented on the F5 BIG-IP hardware and VE's.

 

• Automating on-boarding initial setup of BIG-IP
• Automation of network constructs such as VLANs, Self-IP's, etc.
• Managing virtual servers, pool and monitors
