I've been playing with f5 automation for couple of months already and have noticed that there are many (I would say too much) ways of orchestration F5 boxes in cloud environments. We choose to create our own solutions through API REST and even though our management line don't trust us so much (and would rather buy some products), we have very promising results and we are getting better. Important for me is that I can orchestrate already everything I need in LTM and AFM (so far) with any tiny detail which our application guys and customer needs. What are possibilities with solution you describe when I am not satisfied just with creating basic pool, monitor and VIP, but I want to create new partition, route domain, AFM FW rules, external monitorings, routes, vlans on vcmp Host, vcmp Guest and anything else what is not problem when done manually, but any universal orchestrator tools might have problems to meet LB admins expectations..(at least to my understanding)?
Thanks, Zdenek
