PowerShell+ 2019 - F5 Declarative Configuration by James Arruda

In this session I will tell my story on trying to solve the problem of configuring the F5 Big-IP appliance. I am able to configure the F5 Big-IP using the AS3 (Application Services Module), which allows the use of declarative configurations to manage VIPs, Pools, Pool Members, iRules, Certs, and much more. I will also go over the process used to create and manage the configurations through a pipeline using Azure DevOps, Powershell, and Octopus(it might be entirely through Azure DevOps). In the end, an attendee will have a solid foundation on being able to explore this path for themselves. Topics I will cover: - What is the AS3(Application Serives Module)? - The basics of the AS3 declaration configuration and how to use the configuration to configure the appliance - How to push the configuration to the appliance - How to use a repository and pipeline to manage and push the configurations with Azure DevOps, Powershell, and Pester - Putting it all together and Q&A That is the basic overview for this session, more detail and work will be coming over the coming months. Thanks for taking the time to review my outline. Jim Arruda (Rockarruda) PowerShell Summit videos are recorded on a "best effort" basis. We use a room mic to capture as much room audio as possible, with an emphasis on capturing the speaker. Our recordings are made in a way that minimizes overhead for our speakers and interruptions to our live audience. These recordings are meant to preserve the presentations' information for posterity, and are not intended to be a substitute for attending the Summit in person. These recordings are not intended as professional video training products. We hope you find these videos useful - the equipment used to record these was purchased using generous donations from members of the PowerShell community.
