After a fair bit of playing around with the iControl/SOAP/perl interface, it would seem
that the current API is pretty well organized, but the total package is a tad slow, given
that I have to go back/forth a lot, which in SOAPs case ain't pretty (in my experience).
My code is structured to get some base information and then fill in the details, so it
also switches between e.g. VirtualServer to Pool to VirtualServer to Pool to Rule, etc. My
guess is that the serializing/deserialzing is a big factor here.
:idea: Would there be some value to have some sort of convenience function that can get all
'important' (whatever that is) information in one full swoop, equivalent to looking at the
bigip.conf file, but in a more structured way?
I could off course re-structure my code and
see the result (which I may do after I'm done with my proof of concept), but it would
seem that this is something a lot off people may want to do...
More Random Thoughts as usual.
