NimbostratusHow to start with F5 SDN?
Hi guy
I've a request from customer that they want to using F5 SDN with cisco ACI.
And I can't find guide about this technology nor manual about What is SDN? Is it something new and not practical or complex implement?
May I ask you where can I find document about F5 SDN (or just SDN Technology concept) or how to start with F5 SDN?
Thank you very much
