My Life in DevCentral
Hi Folks, I joined to DevCentral in the beginning of November 2022 from that time a major changes came to my life. F5 DevCentral board appreciated me by giving me the Featured member and followed by MVP title, I can not deny how much I felt appreciated and happy. DevCentral Like the GYM where people go to keep their fitness , DevCentral keeps you fit in F5 products as it considered the better place to practice F5. F5 is a unique technology deserves from the one to invest himslf learning this technology. I don't know the answers for the most of technical queries from F5 users , but I'm depending on searching to get info helps someone, this helped me much to pass 301a , 301b exams but the most valuable thing you take from DevCentral that it teachs you to help others and this a great value for everyone to present. I am grateful For F5 and DevCentral Community managers and the whole board! DevCental helps me alot , of course it's the right place for F5 and human personality 🙂 ^_^Evolution of DevCentral
I decided to share some screenshots of DevCentral through the years. While our features have changed, our look certainly has as well! This is the earliest image of DevCentral available from the wayback machine, from June 13, 2003: 2006: 2008: 2014: 2018: 2020: Today: What did DevCentral look like when you first joined?20 years ago: Hubble Ultra-Deep Field began
In August 2003, the Hubble Space Telescope began the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field project, which ended 800 exposures later, on January 16, 2004. The images from this project resulted in the image below, containing over 10,000 galaxies. It was the furthest we'd seen until the James Webb Telescope began its mission more recently. "This view of nearly 10,000 galaxies is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The snapshot includes galaxies of various ages, sizes, shapes, and colours. The smallest, reddest galaxies, about 100, may be among the most distant known, existing when the universe was just 800 million years old. The nearest galaxies - the larger, brighter, well-defined spirals and ellipticals - thrived about 1 billion years ago, when the cosmos was 13 billion years old. The image required 800 exposures taken over the course of 400 Hubble orbits around Earth. The total amount of exposure time was 11.3 days, taken between Sept. 24, 2003 and Jan. 16, 2004. Credit: NASA,ESA, and S. Beckwith (STScI) and the HUDF Team" Images like this inspired me and thousands of others. I'm curious what technological breakthroughs you might point to as inspiring you, whether personally or professionally. Let us know in the comments below!my three years life in f5 devcentral community
The first contact with the F5 device was on May 25, 2020，The first contact with the devcentral community was on September 1, 2020. The operation and maintenance environment, F5 LTM and GTM configurations are simple， LTM only use tcp and udp profile, no ssl offload because ssl offload was on nginx,Therefore, there are no major challenges in daily work and life. In daily life, using BIG VE for experiments，I can't even remember how many email accounts I used to register f5 account to apply for a 30 day trial license. Over the past two years, I have been conducting experiments and using Python f5-sdk to achieve automatic creation of VS and publishing of GTM wideip a and aaaa domain names locally. In the past three months, I have been doing things unrelated to F5 during the day and reviewing the F5 exam at night and on weekends.Obtained the following results： 3.27 pass f5-101, 4.7 pass f5-201, 4.21 pass f5-301a, 5.17 pass f5-301b, today 6.20 pass f5-302 examsWhat were you doing 20 years ago?
20 years ago DevCentral made its first technical community post and created a place where F5 users could learn from each other. What where you doing 20 years ago? Working in technology or a different industry? Or maybe you were doing something else incredible with your life. Share your stories with us here! As for me, 20 years ago I was in high school studying for the SATs (which were a lot different 20 years ago), sending out college applications, and looking at prom dresses! 🙂 Join the 20th Anniversary Group Hub to see other stories and share your own!Colin Walker Tribute
Where to start...man, Colin Walker was larger than life. The first full time employee on the DevCentral team, he hit the ground with fury. An iRules extraordinaire, he taught with skill, wit, and kindness. I enjoyed getting to know him when I was a customer, and it was truly an honor to have the chance to work along side him on the DevCentral team. Colin left F5 years ago to pursue other ventures, and shockingly passed away recently, but his legacy lives on in these virtual halls. Rock on, Colin.
