SDK API Sequencing

Hi Mark,

 

 

You're right that you don't need to explicitly create nodes. They're created automatically when you create a pool with members/add a new pool member.

 

 

An iRule is optional. Many VS's do not require an iRule. But if you wanted to use one, you'd create it before the virtual server.

 

 

If you want custom profiles (TCP, client SSL, HTTP, etc), you should create those before the virtual server.

 

 

Here's the order I suggest:

 

 

1. monitor(s)

 

2. pool which references the monitor(s)

 

3. import SSL certificates if you want to use a client SSL profile

 

4. profiles (optional)

 

5. rule(s) (optional)

 

6. SNAT (optional)

 

7. virtual
