IRULE DEVELOPMENT COURSE

Hi FOLKS ,

 

How good is the irule development course ? should I consider taking 3-day class training or there are other resource over internet or any book from F5 I should consider ?

 

Also , is it worth deep diving with irule which uses TCL scripting as oppose to irule-LX which is java based ? I believe this is the roadway F5 now considering for future by using irule LX .

 

Please advise !

 

Thanks

    Deepak, I seriously recommend taking the instructor-led irule development course if you are new to development. It teaches a great deal about basics. For example how to code efficiently and how to improve the performance of your irule with the right operators, statements, and methods.

     

    For example, you can view the results of your timing tests using the following TMSH command: 

    tmsh show /ltm rule <rule-name> [raw]
