    Hi Montaser, please open a ticket with F5 support and reply here with the ticket number so I can track the issue. We have not been able to reproduce the problem, so we will need to see your configuration before we can address it. Mike

    Also, can you verify that you have a management route set on your BIG-IP? From tmsh, you can run list sys management-route.

    We are all having this issue because the iapp tries to connect to AWS. Why is it trying to connect to AWS? And not only just to AWS, but a specific AWS?!?

    The iApp supports deploying for "HA across availability zones" when run in AWS. It's connecting to the AWS metadata service to verify the environment, not to a real IP address.

    Please give the RC2 version of the template a try, and let me know how it goes.

    Hello Rajeev, You'll find there's now an RC-4 in the zip file on (instructions above). I'll be updating this page shortly. Do you just need the latest, or is there a reason you need RC-2? RC-3 and 4 descriptions are now above.

    This template has the variable irules__irules but iRules needs an http profile configured. I could not find a variable to set the http profile directly from the iApp. Is there a way to set that?
