thanks for the reply - the github configuration - and deployment of F5s is extremely complex to figure out . if the only advantage of have a config sync between the 2 F5s is to have "Some components" in sync then it would be easier to do it with CICD -

woudd both F5s have the same IP for a VP?

you need to use dynamic routing based RHI if you want VIP sharing with the f5 entities doesnt have self and floating ip in same subnet

  Hi All - the problem is -
  what would the 2 F5s be Syncing
  the Virtual IPS are Different - the pool members are different.
  network configuration is different . the only thing common is ldap authentication - dns and nto settings.
  what is the advantage of having device sync for that ?
