CirrocumulusHi Alex,
Great article and I have a question about the autoscaling design using different Availability Zones (AZ) in a single VPC.
Is this single-NIC auto-scaling setup of AWS also supported with different AZ in the VPC placing one F5 in each? Does the F5 Big IP VE and the web server need to be on the same subnet or do they have to be on different subnets? The ELB will route the traffic though the F5 using the Self IP as gateway and reaches the internal subnet is that the way it should be setup?
