NimbostratusRecommendation for Adv. Lab
Hi Everyone,
I'm relatively new to F5 BIG-IP and want to improve my hands-on skills. I have a chance to build a good lab, but I'm struggling to find real-world use cases and troubleshooting scenarios.
Currently, I can only run basic tests with DVWA, but I want to simulate a complex environment.
Could you recommend any resources (videos, docs, or lab guides or anything can help) specifically for LTM, AWAF, DNS and APM, use-case scenarios, troubleshooting exercises, architectures etc.
Any guidance to help me bridge the gap between basic setup and professional practice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

for apm, add windows server vm as ad server or use azure ad, then setup single sign on.
for gtm/dns, duplicate above to second datacenter environment.
all above can be done in vm in laptop if you have 32 GB ram.
LabSmithHey Guys,
IDK if this is something you are looking for, but I just posted an article on LinkedIn about my Labing Journey this weekend that might help you. It was a fun Journey. After you get a lab set up, It should be a quick real world set up and troubleshooting Lab.
My lab is built out in GNS3 using NGINX containers and Eval License on my F5 VEs.
I am working on my 303, so I will be building labs and senarios around that also.
