NimbostratusNeed Suggestion on using REST API for Configuring LTM
Hi I am trying to do the following with iControl using REST Api Monitor Configuration, Pool Configuration, SSL Profile, Virtual Server Configuration, iRules etc Can somebody guide me whether this is a right option to go with? Is it fully functional? We are targeting the 11.4.1 version of LTM

Sudesh_tendulkaAlso if somebody can tell me how to get access of REST SDK/API for 11.4 LTM version?Keep in mind that our REST interface on 11.4 is an Early Access feature and is subject to change in 11.5. I don't think we are going to change much, but this first release is being used to get feedback and make any necessary changes. I do know versioning is one feature to be added that didn't make it in 11.4. That may just be a URL change, but I'm not sure how it will be implemented yet.
As an alternative, the iControl SOAP interface has been stable for years and has support for PowerShell, .Net, Perl, Java, Python, and several other languages. You just can't easily run in it JavaScript like you can with the REST interface.
For those interested in the API docs, you can get them here: https://devcentral.f5.com/d/icontrol-rest-user-guide
