Hi Joel,

Yes, and edit policies.

Policies (in LTM context) are basically an iRule replacement (like: if host header equals "something.com", forward traffic to pool X, apply ASM rule Y and do whatever).

I was not super-convinced by this feature because I do what I need with irules and we can't do everything with policies, but when you really want to automate BigIP configuration, you don't want to parse iRules in powershell, and add/update/delete things like this in switch statements for example:

"some.url.com" {
        if { $path equals "/" } {
            HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://[HTTP::host]/logon.jsp"
        }
       use pool something_pool
}

Policies in this respect are much easier to handle.

It seems the issue has already been created by @elijahgagne on github some time ago : 122

Hope it clarifies!

Thanks
