CirrostratusASM VE performance scalling
Hi,
I wonder if there is any good article about sizing VM for ASM/AFM deployment. Or maybe someone already did such deployment and can share some figures. What number of vCPU/RAM/Other resources...

CirrostratusHi,
Thanks for hints. If I am not wrong limit for VE ends at 10Gb throughput? I am asking because right now under attack customer is reporting hardware BIG-IP as bottleneck (don't know yet what is HW). Wonder is alternative could be some LB pointing to ASM VE pool to create LB at the attack time in cost effective manner.
As far as I know ASM is most resource intensive module on BIG-IP.

NimbostratusGive it a go then :). I cannot confirm for sure, but I think that even if the 1st line of appliances are configured as active-standby, you should be able to deploy the 2nd line of appliances (VE ASM) in active-active mode to really widen the existing bottleneck.
