Go package to leverage REST API

Problem this snippet solves:

If you like coding in Go (as I love to do), here's a package that leverages the REST API to allow you to manage (create, modify, delete, etc.) pools, nodes, virtual servers, routes, self IP's, vlans, interfaces, trunks, route domains, etc.

The official documentation can be found here.

Here's a blog post that goes into more detailed examples.

How to use this snippet:

The example below is a small example of how to create and manage nodes, pools, and virtual servers.

Code :

package main

import (  
    "github.com/scottdware/go-bigip"
)

func main() {  
    f5 := bigip.NewSession("f5.company.com", "admin", "secret")

    // Node creation
    f5.CreateNode("web-server1", "10.5.1.10")
    f5.CreateNode("web-server2", "10.5.1.11")
    f5.CreateNode("web-server3", "10.5.1.12")

    // Create our pool
    f5.CreatePool("web_443_pool")

    // Add members to our pool
    f5.AddPoolMember("web_443_pool", "web-server1:443")
    f5.AddPoolMember("web_443_pool", "web-server2:443")
    f5.AddPoolMember("web_443_pool", "web-server3:443")

    // Take our #3 web server offline (disable)
    f5.PoolMemberStatus("web_443_pool", "web-server3:443", "disable")

    // Create a virtual server using the above pool
    // The second parameter is our destination, and the third is the mask. You can use CIDR notation if you wish (as shown here)
    f5.CreateVirtualServer("web_443", "0.0.0.0", "0", "web_443_pool", 443)

    // Take the #3 web server offline for all pools
    f5.NodeStatus("web-server3", "disable")

    // Remove the server from our pool
    f5.DeletePoolMember("web_443_pool", "web-server3:443")
}
