F5OS cloud-init on 21.1 does tenants come with DO and AS3 RPM installed?

Hello Everyone,

 

This great new feature 

https://techdocs.f5.com/en-us/bigip-21-1-0/big-ip-f5os-cloud-init-support-velos-rseries/cloud-init-support-velos-rseries.html is not very well described. I think F5 making a demo session or a Guide with pictures will be helpful.

 

For example do the F5os Tenants come with RPM AS3 and DO installed by default for this to work ?

 

Other than that it is mentioned that the DO yaml file needs to be hosted on F5OS ? Where exactly ?

  • This is indeed an interesting new feature. I've read that before, but I didn't look into it further. +1 for a short demo and/or better description how to use it.

    My current workflow is:

    1. Deploy the F5OS Tenants with a relatively simply API call
    2. Start my Declarative Onboarding Pipelines in GitLab
    3. Start the AS3 Pipelines

      DO pipelines using the DO RPM work for F5OS tenants even before TMOS 21.1 ?

        Yes, DO RPM works fine with all supported TMOS versions supported by F5OS. I onboard F5OS tenants regularly with DO.

        Just make sure to configure the VLAN and trunk settings exactly as specified by F5OS.
