application service import/export to another BIG-IP

Hello,

 

I'm looking for some guidance when it comes to automation and deployments of large scale applications that may have a variance of LTM, AFM, ASM & so forth. In our F5 environment we're always leveraging container objects which are stored within our bigip.conf. We leverage these by using application services. It seems that the only way I can extract all the configuration is to browse through bigip.conf and look for the reference /Common/abc.app/abc

 

If you browse through the GUI, every reference of this app-service builds similar to iApp, where you can see the breakdown of all the objects that are in it's container reference and identify all linked to this configuration.

 

I need to have a better way of deploying these configurations to another GEO-Location, or Sandbox. Definitely this is an iWorkflow/DevOps initiative, but it's truly needed in my environment to cut operations - thanks.

 

AFM
application delivery
LTM

    Example... create sys application service abc

    browse sys application service abc

    create ltm virtual abc-website-80 {app-service abc}
create ltm profile abc-website-80-wan-optimized {app-service abc}
create ltm monitor abc-website-80-monitor {app-service abc}

create security firewall policy abc-website-80-policy {app-service abc}
create security firewall rule-list abc-website-80-rule-list {app-service abc}

    in GUI, you can view all referenced objects with app-service abc in /common/abc.app/abc

    Export all these settings within a container, import them into another F5.
