The F5 and Cisco APIC integration based on the device package and iWorkflow is End Of Life.
The latest integration is based on the Cisco AppCenter named F5 ACI ServiceCenter

1). At this time, there is no API guide for CM. its publication is planned for a future release. 2). If you are looking to spin up instances using BIG-IQ, NSX and ACI are the two platforms supported today. In other (non NSX and ACI) environments, Cloud can be used deploy applications (via iApps) to existing instances (VE or hardware) of BIG-IP. So, you can manage existing devices and even new devices that are created/provisioned/deployed outside of BIG-IQ Cloud.
DaveW__248213Thanks for the info Kyle. One follow-up question. "So, you can manage existing devices and even new devices that are created/provisioned/deployed outside of BIG-IQ Cloud." Is the same functionality to push iApp templates via the REST API (assuming no NSX or ACI) available with central management or is that only an available feature of the cloud version.- Only Cloud pushes iApps at this time, but it can push to devices outside of NSX or ACI using the local connector.
