informal survey...how do you use iControl?

We wrote a configuration management broker that speaks our own simplified WSDL to clients and implements iControl on the back end. This allows it to leverages enterprise standards and authentication and authorization stores, and enables us to be cross-platform on the back-end, integrating other vendors' appliances as needed without changing the front-end.

 

 

Our WSDL service distills the essence of ADC concepts down to what our clients are interested in doing (Creating and modifying virtuals, pools, and services) so that users wishing to write integrations against the broker don't need to know anything specific about the devices or even what brand or model they are.

I've written a REST to iControl bridge which encapsulates API touch points which we frequently rely upon in our organization for automation.

Wrote monitor app that displays status of pools and pool members, emails alerts when pool members are marked down and up by monitors. Wrote apps that allow individuals in other departments the abilty to manipulate specific pools: enable/disable/move servers from one pool to another - the app will not allow moves until current user count = 0. Created app for individuals in other departments to control GTM WideIPs, for failover, routine maintenence.
