Reverse Proxy Not Behaving
I am working on adding learninglocker and xapi routes to the f5 reverse proxy and things are not behaving as I would have expected. The routes to Moodle and Keycloak are working but Learninglocker and Xapi are not. Below is what I see when trying to connect to the dashboard. The initial /lrs-dashboard connection is made but the corresponding connections fail.
Here is what I'm trying to do:
Is what I'm trying to do with learninglocker and xapi even doable?

This FAQ doesn't talk about High-Availability in the cloud from what I can see. For the per App VE, how would we achieve HA across Availability Zones in AWS, for example? Would we need to purchase two in that case?
The BIG-IQ is HA and if using VMWare, the tier 1 L4 traffic distribution is a BIG-IP HA pair (AWS uses ELB for tier 1). But the Per App VE is more of a stateless BIG-IP instance designed to pull full configuration from BIG-IQ as it's horizontally scaled out.
¬â€
The service scaling group contains the requirements for auto-scale such as throughput, CPU, memory thresholds and will dynamically update the tier 1 traffic distribution of the new Per App VEs. In this case, a service scaling group would always start with 2 Per App VE's and maybe scale out to 4 or 5 depending on your requirements. Once the load normalized, it would then scale back to the original two Per App VEs.
¬â€
Because it's dynamically creating BIG-IP's as needed, all redundancy is controlled by BIG-IQ's configurations and the tier 1 traffic distrubtion.
¬â€
This is designed for those less-stateful applications that don't need the dedicated BIG-IP HA pairs deployed in the cloud (but BIG-IQ could manage both).

What are the other options apart from BIG IQ 6.0 to manage the Auto scaling in AWS if we want to use two active F5s at a time and scaling it by further two and so on?

@ChetanAr
You can create your service scaling group with 2 BIG-IPs initially and set the scaling rules to add additional BIG-IPs depending on crossing thresholds (CPU, Memory, throughput, ...).
Check below links for more information:
@Roman: Thanks for sharing the links! Can we achieve this (Auto-scaling) without BIG-IQ? Any other way where we can manage the configuration without the use of Big-IQ?
- RomanJRet. Employee
@ChetanAr to deploy BIG-IP Auto Scaling in AWS, you can use the F5 CFT available on F5 Neworks GitHub
You may also have a look at AS3.
Thanks Roman! Can we auto-scale LTM same way we are doing BIP-IP VE? If yes, which model will work well: subscription or BYOL?
- RomanJRet. Employee
@ChetanAr if you use BYOL, you will need a BIG-IQ to act as License Manager. If you use subscription, the licenses are Pay As You Go.
Thanks Roman! Apologies for the delay. I'm now testing the deployment of BIG IQ 6.0.1 for its various features.

Hello, are there any plans to make Per App VE available for Hyper-V environment?
