An iApp is used used to consolidate and manage a portion of BIG-IP configuration that is dedicated to a particular application, simplifying the process when using BIG-IP UI. For example, a full-blown Exchange deployment without the iApp takes 1200 clicks, but with the iApp takes 50. iControl is built for machine interaction, and comes in 2 flavors: SOAP and REST. iApps may be instantiated via iControl, and although the iApps published from release 11.3 to 11.6 were not designed for that type of use, it is becoming increasingly popular to do so.
