F5 BIG-IP AS3 API Best Practices - Part One

[@ZdenekZemba]

About 26:10 you say that if pool member is not unique then it has to be shared and placed to Common. In my case where have 2 partitions with own route-domains and own IP spaces and it happened that both uses 10.x.x.x and there are occasionally same pool members, does it mean that with AS3 I cannot have such setup and have to re-address the conflicting pool members? Adding them to Common is out of question as that uses route-domain 0...

[@MarkDittmer]

use share-nodes=true in the CIS deployment. This will create the pools members in the common partition. Example clouddocs.f5.com/containers/latest/userguide/config-parameters.html

@@MarkDittmer as I mentioned, we use partitions with own routing domain, so placing pool member to Common will not make it work

so if youre working on tenant2, and you forget to add to the URI declare/tenant2, you mess up all your other tenants?

[@MarkDittmer]

Declarative. Declare the changes. Best to use via GitHub or Bitbucket

When using AS3, should I have a separate tenant for each wide IP? So If I have 250 wide-ip's will I have 250 tenants? thank you

[@MarkDittmer]

Wide-IPs are different when using AS3. I think generic-host for Wide-IPs is the way to go. Maybe common. I need to post a Best practice AS3 video for GSLB.

@@MarkDittmerYes please we are migrating DNS module from on-prem to azure and want to use AS3 and frontend with terraform. About 500 wide-ip's

How can we control API user permissions to limit POSTS to per tenant or even better per app?

[@MarkDittmer]

AS3 has no RBAC on Classic. API user permissions to limit POSTS for AS3 is coming in BIG-IP Next. Please subscribe. I will create a demo for this in a month once the code is complete.
