F5 Resources Usage

I'm new to F5 AWAF. Considering WAF protection such as Bot Defense, Dos protection, would use high amount of resources, are there any guidelines on the resources such as CPU or memory to be allocated to these protections? 

Plus, imagining to have 1000 web applications to be protected, how to allocate resources properly so that F5 can handle all the protections properly? 

My concern is that F5 will be unable to handle the protection if there are too many application to be protected and the protection itself requires large amount of resources to work properly. 

  • Contact your F5 account team, they have or can ask for internal guidance for situations like this. An important metric is the amount of (HTTP) traffic that will be handled by the AWAF.
