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

The latest integration is based on the Cisco AppCenter named ‘F5 ACI ServiceCenter’.
