Making changes post iApp creation - tricky

Brent

 

Thank you for your insight !

 

I understand that you try to fit the 80% of basic http apps but I find it a bit odd that you didn't include iRules f5.http f.e.

 

As we all know iRules are the meat of many loadbalancing scenarios and I refuse to believe that only very few customers use them.

 

 

The problem here is that if I use your template but I need iRules associated with the VIP I HAVE to go the "uncheck strict-checking" route.

 

Are you saying most of your customers don't need iRules with http VIPs ?

 

 

I know someone provided an enhancement on codeshare where you can add iRules in the template. I used it and it works wonderfully - except now I opened up pandora's box since I'd have to create a huge red warning box somewhere saying "DO NOT add iRules directly in the virtual server !!". Yet if someone asks me "How do I adda cookie for encryption to the http profile ?" I have to say "Do it like you've always done it by directly editing this profile". You see my dilemma ? Its hard to document stuff like this. Its much easier so say "Only do this this one way !!"

 

This is why I'm debating whether I should bother with the iRules-enhaced template.

 

 

There is another enhancement where someone added the ability to point to an SSL profile. It works too but my dilemma is the same.

 

 

So you are saying you guys have something new cooking ? I don't have time to customize templates too much especially if you guys are coming out with new ones.

 

What is the timeframe for these 2.0 templates ?

 

 

thx
