Description
Reduce complexity, gain consistency and control
Gain end-to-end visibility of your core IT, networking, development, and deployment environments with a unified tool. Create, configure and manage F5 security and application delivery services on physical and virtual devices both locally and in the cloud.
- Create Centralized Application Catalogs - Create application catalogs of apps to allow customers to rapidly deploy similar applications across cloud and on-premises environments.
- Advanced Analytics - Gain visibility into the health and performance of your applications and the BIG-IP devices they rely on. Collect and aggregate detailed metrics and data from your BIG-IP devices—both locally and in the cloud.
- Simplify BIG-IP Portfolio Management - Manage all BIG-IP physical and virtual devices from a single point of control and drive consistent application and security policies across all data center and cloud environments.
Role, user and task-based dashboards
Ease the burden on NetOps, DevOps, and SecOps users with automated workflows, intelligent device management, role and user-specific GUIs and dashboards, and tight third-party integrations.
- Holistic Control - NetOps and IT Ops centralized policy development, management and control of network, platform and application health.
- Application Ownership - AppDev, App Owners and DevOpps get full application lifecycle management and control.
- Consistent Security - SecOps offers security policy development and consistent deployment on all applications and platforms in data centers and cloud environments.
Increase efficiency and consistency with simplified automation
Manually creating, provisioning, and deploying hundreds of apps and BIG-IP devices across different operating environments and environments lacking a unified security posture or point of control can be time consuming and requires high levels of domain expertise.
- Centralized Security - Fine tune policies, repeat best practices, gain security insight from L4–L7, and mitigate threats before they affect your apps.
- Policy Consistency - Removed error-prone manual work and ensure compliance across your application portfolio—on-premises or in public and private clouds.
- Efficient Deployment - Leverage declarative APIs for full-device lifecycle management reduces deployment time, minimizes errors, and empowers every member of the team.
Declarative automation and orchestration
The F5 Automation Toolchain is a set of unified tools, services, and integrations that automate the process of configuring, provisioning. Deploying F5 application services through simple yet powerful declarative interfaces makes it faster and easier for you to deploy and provision BIG-IP application services.
- Imperative vs. Declarative APIs - Declarative APIS enable quicker time-to-marketand Maximized app deployment efficiencies.
- Automation Tool Chain (ATC) - A centralized set of automation tools that abstract away BIG-IP configuration complexity via simple yet powerful declarative interfaces to simplify & accelerate repeatable deployments while minimizing errors for and providing effective change management.
