Tinkering with the BIGREST Python SDK - Part 1

Great article  and awesome new SDK  that i found out right on time.

I was struggling with "f5-common-python" to add/remove server side ssl to a virtual server.

I found BIGREST cleaner syntax and easy to understand.

Below is the snippet i used to do what I was looking for:

domain_name = input()
# Connect to BigIP
b = BIGIP(ip, username, password)
 
# Load the Profiles on a virtual server
profiles = b.load(f"/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/{rest_format(domain_name)}/profiles")
 
print(f"List of Profiles attached to {domain_name}")
profile_context_list = []
for p in profiles:
    profile_context_list.append(p.properties["context"])
print(profile_context_list)
 
if "serverside" in profile_context_list:
    print("Serverside SSL applied")
    print("Deleting Serverside SSL profile")
    path = (
      f"/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/{rest_format(domain_name)}/profiles/{rest_format(profile_name)}"
    )
    b.delete(path)
else:
    print("Serverside SSL doesn't applied")
    print("Adding Serverside SSL Profile")
    data = {}
    data["name"] = profile_name
    data["context"] = "serverside"
    b.create(f"/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/{rest_format(domain_name)}/profiles", data)
