Deploy Failover BIG-IP Cluster with Existing Stack in Google Cloud using v2 Templates
In this article, I plan to cover how-to deploy a pair of BIG-IP devices with failover and high availability features into a Google Cloud existing network stack. Review other articles in this series to see alternative deployment options.
How-to v2 Failover Example: BIG-IP Cluster on Google Cloud with Existing Network Stack
The following section will be a walkthrough with steps to deploy two BIG-IP instances in GCP using the Failover example with an existing network stack. When complete, the BIG-IP devices will form an Active/Standby cluster. You can use the same techniques in order to copy the templates, modify as needed, and deploy in your environment.
During a failover event on the BIG-IP devices, the new active device (was standby) will detect the problem via heartbeats. The new active BIG-IP device sends API calls to Google API to move objects like alias IP ranges, forwarding rule IP mappings (aka public IPs), and more. This API failover method is thanks to the magic in the F5 Cloud Failover Extension, part of the F5 Automation Toolchain.
cd ~/Desktop
git clone https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-google-gdm-templates-v2.git
Create Secret in GCP Secret Manager
One prerequisite for this deployment is to use a secret from GCP Secret Manager. Secret Manager stores API keys, passwords, certificates, and other sensitive data. The secret will be used for the BIG-IP administrator password during onboarding.
1. From your terminal, create a file called password.txt containing the BIG-IP password in one line.
2. Create the secret with gcloud using the password.txt file
Note: For demo purposes of "existing stack", we will use a custom secret name and modify the BIG-IP onboarding files to match.
# Sample Output
Created version [1] of the secret [giroux-bigip-secret]
Modify Parameters - Existing Stack
For this section, I will deploy the BIG-IP with an existing network stack in GCP. I customize the example Runtime Init YAML file from GitHub and then copy it to my GCP Bucket with public access. This allows the BIG-IP to retrieve it during onboard. The result will be the following:
Using my existing network stack with 3x VPCs: mgmt, external, internal
2x BIG-IP instance, version=16.1.2.2
4x CPU, 3-NICs
Using my customized runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance01-jeff.yaml and runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance02-jeff.yaml from my GCP Bucket
BIG-IP cluster and network settings only
Here we go!
Note: For demo purposes of this article, we will use a tagged version of the repo to maintain article consistency with code.
1. From your terminal, set DEPLOYMENT_NAME, set CONFIG_FILE, change folders, and change branch to pinned tag
DEPLOYMENT_NAME=giroux-bigip-failover-existing
CONFIG_FILE=sample_failover_existing_network.yaml
cd f5-google-gdm-templates-v2/examples/failover
git checkout tags/v2.4.0.0
2. Review the entire README for instructions and prerequisites
3. Edit the file sample_failover_existing_network.yaml
4. Modify the BIG-IP addresses to match your existing VPC network
Note: My existing network setup consists of the following: mgmt = 10.1.1.0/24, external = 10.1.10.0/24, internal = 10.1.20.0/24. Match your environment and use available IPs within the subnet range. I will also update the cfeTag.
5. Edit the runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance01.yaml and runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance02.yaml files according to your existing network stack. If you changed the cfeTag or secretID in earlier steps, then update the values here too.
6. Save both files and upload to a location accessible by BIG-IP during onboard
# runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance01.yaml and
# runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance02.yaml - sourced from GitHub examples
# My example change...
# secretID
secretProvider:
environment: gcp
type: SecretsManager
version: latest
secretId: giroux-bigip-secret
# cfeTag

scopingTags:
f5_cloud_failover_label: giroux_bigip_ha

Deploy the BIG-IP Failover Cluster - Existing Stack
The following tests will work if you deploy the BIG-IP with Layer 4-7 settings. For my demo settings, the "existing stack" does not create BIG-IP application objects nor does it create an application server. Fear not! You can still POST an AS3 declaration to the BIG-IP, or you can login manually and create a pool and listener. Check out the F5 AS3 Docs for more example declarations!
1. From your local machine, curl the demo application (value from vip1PublicIp)
2. Perform a security violation by sending a disallowed 'method' of DELETE
curl http://35.233.137.160 -X DELETE
# Sample Output
<html><head><title>Request Rejected</title></head><body>The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator.<br><br>Your support ID is: 9487250596978229314<br><br><a href='javascript:history.back();'>[Go Back]</a></body></html>
Testing Failover
The following tests will work if you deploy the BIG-IP with Layer 4-7 settings. For my demo settings, the "existing stack" does not create BIG-IP application objects nor does it create an application server. Fear not! You can still POST an AS3 declaration to the BIG-IP, or you can login manually and create a pool and listener. Check out the F5 AS3 Docs for more example declarations!
Let's validate a few things and then force a failover.
1. From your terminal, run gcloud to list the forwarding rule and verify the target BIG-IP instance (1 or 2)
gcloud compute forwarding-rules list --filter="name=(giroux-ha-fr-01)"
# Sample Output
NAME REGION IP_ADDRESS IP_PROTOCOL TARGET
giroux-ha-fr-01 us-west1 35.233.137.160 TCP us-west1-a/targetInstances/giroux-ha-bigip-vm-01-ti
The output shows vm-01 which is BIG-IP instance 1. This matches the CLI on each BIG-IP in which instance 1 shows 'active' and instance 2 shows 'standby'.
# From instance 1
[admin@giroux-ha-bigip-vm-01:Active:In Sync] ~ #
# From instance 2
[admin@giroux-ha-bigip-vm-02:Standby:In Sync] ~ #
Now, let's force a failover.
2. From the standby BIG-IP, start a 'tail -f' on the restnoded log file to watch live logs
This article shows you how to use the BIG-IP Cloud Solution Templates to easily deploy services and BIG-IP in Google Cloud. I use sample configurations in this article to deploy two BIG-IP devices in a failover cluster with an existing network stack. I then show you how to validate the deployment and review onboard logs. This Failover example is an easy way to have your applications protected by BIG-IP running in HA on Google Cloud. Make sure to check out the other examples in the GitHub repository for scenarios like standalone or autoscale.

In this article, I plan to cover how-to deploy a pair of BIG-IP devices with failover and high availability features into a Google Cloud existing network stack. Review other articles in this series to see alternative deployment options.
\n
\n
How-to v2 Failover Example: BIG-IP Cluster on Google Cloud with Existing Network Stack
\n
The following section will be a walkthrough with steps to deploy two BIG-IP instances in GCP using the Failover example with an existing network stack. When complete, the BIG-IP devices will form an Active/Standby cluster. You can use the same techniques in order to copy the templates, modify as needed, and deploy in your environment.
\n
During a failover event on the BIG-IP devices, the new active device (was standby) will detect the problem via heartbeats. The new active BIG-IP device sends API calls to Google API to move objects like alias IP ranges, forwarding rule IP mappings (aka public IPs), and more. This API failover method is thanks to the magic in the F5 Cloud Failover Extension, part of the F5 Automation Toolchain.
cd ~/Desktop\ngit clone https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-google-gdm-templates-v2.git
\n
Create Secret in GCP Secret Manager
\n
One prerequisite for this deployment is to use a secret from GCP Secret Manager. Secret Manager stores API keys, passwords, certificates, and other sensitive data. The secret will be used for the BIG-IP administrator password during onboarding.
\n
1. From your terminal, create a file called password.txt containing the BIG-IP password in one line.
\n
2. Create the secret with gcloud using the password.txt file
\n
Note: For demo purposes of \"existing stack\", we will use a custom secret name and modify the BIG-IP onboarding files to match.
# Sample Output\nCreated version [1] of the secret [giroux-bigip-secret]
\n
Modify Parameters - Existing Stack
\n
For this section, I will deploy the BIG-IP with an existing network stack in GCP. I customize the example Runtime Init YAML file from GitHub and then copy it to my GCP Bucket with public access. This allows the BIG-IP to retrieve it during onboard. The result will be the following:
\n
\n
Using my existing network stack with 3x VPCs: mgmt, external, internal
\n
2x BIG-IP instance, version=16.1.2.2
\n
4x CPU, 3-NICs
\n
Using my customized runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance01-jeff.yaml and runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance02-jeff.yaml from my GCP Bucket
\n
BIG-IP cluster and network settings only
\n
\n
Here we go!
\n
Note: For demo purposes of this article, we will use a tagged version of the repo to maintain article consistency with code.
\n
1. From your terminal, set DEPLOYMENT_NAME, set CONFIG_FILE, change folders, and change branch to pinned tag
2. Review the entire README for instructions and prerequisites
\n
3. Edit the file sample_failover_existing_network.yaml
\n
4. Modify the BIG-IP addresses to match your existing VPC network
\n
Note: My existing network setup consists of the following: mgmt = 10.1.1.0/24, external = 10.1.10.0/24, internal = 10.1.20.0/24. Match your environment and use available IPs within the subnet range. I will also update the cfeTag.
5. Edit the runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance01.yaml and runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance02.yaml files according to your existing network stack. If you changed the cfeTag or secretID in earlier steps, then update the values here too.
\n
6. Save both files and upload to a location accessible by BIG-IP during onboard
The following tests will work if you deploy the BIG-IP with Layer 4-7 settings. For my demo settings, the \"existing stack\" does not create BIG-IP application objects nor does it create an application server. Fear not!

Testing Failover
\n
The following tests will work if you deploy the BIG-IP with Layer 4-7 settings. For my demo settings, the \"existing stack\" does not create BIG-IP application objects nor does it create an application server. Fear not! You can still POST an AS3 declaration to the BIG-IP, or you can login manually and create a pool and listener. Check out the F5 AS3 Docs for more example declarations!
\n
Let's validate a few things and then force a failover.
\n
1. From your terminal, run gcloud to list the forwarding rule and verify the target BIG-IP instance (1 or 2)
\n
gcloud compute forwarding-rules list --filter=\"name=(giroux-ha-fr-01)\"
The output shows vm-01 which is BIG-IP instance 1. This matches the CLI on each BIG-IP in which instance 1 shows 'active' and instance 2 shows 'standby'.
\n
# From instance 1\n[admin@giroux-ha-bigip-vm-01:Active:In Sync] ~ # \n\n# From instance 2\n[admin@giroux-ha-bigip-vm-02:Standby:In Sync] ~ #
\n
Now, let's force a failover.
\n
2. From the standby BIG-IP, start a 'tail -f' on the restnoded log file to watch live logs
This article shows you how to use the BIG-IP Cloud Solution Templates to easily deploy services and BIG-IP in Google Cloud. I use sample configurations in this article to deploy two BIG-IP devices in a failover cluster with an existing network stack. I then show you how to validate the deployment and review onboard logs. This Failover example is an easy way to have your applications protected by BIG-IP running in HA on Google Cloud. Make sure to check out the other examples in the GitHub repository for scenarios like standalone or autoscale.
In this article, I plan to cover how-to deploy a pair of BIG-IP devices with failover and high availability features into a Google Cloud existing network stack. Review other articles in this series to see alternative deployment options.
\n
\n
How-to v2 Failover Example: BIG-IP Cluster on Google Cloud with Existing Network Stack
\n
The following section will be a walkthrough with steps to deploy two BIG-IP instances in GCP using the Failover example with an existing network stack. When complete, the BIG-IP devices will form an Active/Standby cluster. You can use the same techniques in order to copy the templates, modify as needed, and deploy in your environment.
\n
During a failover event on the BIG-IP devices, the new active device (was standby) will detect the problem via heartbeats. The new active BIG-IP device sends API calls to Google API to move objects like alias IP ranges, forwarding rule IP mappings (aka public IPs), and more. This API failover method is thanks to the magic in the F5 Cloud Failover Extension, part of the F5 Automation Toolchain.
One prerequisite for this deployment is to use a secret from GCP Secret Manager. Secret Manager stores API keys, passwords, certificates, and other sensitive data. The secret will be used for the BIG-IP administrator password during onboarding.
\n
1. From your terminal, create a file called password.txt containing the BIG-IP password in one line.
\n
2. Create the secret with gcloud using the password.txt file
\n
Note: For demo purposes of \"existing stack\", we will use a custom secret name and modify the BIG-IP onboarding files to match.
\ngcloud secrets create giroux-bigip-secret --data-file=\"password.txt\"# Sample Output\nCreated version [1] of the secret [giroux-bigip-secret]\n
Modify Parameters - Existing Stack
\n
For this section, I will deploy the BIG-IP with an existing network stack in GCP. I customize the example Runtime Init YAML file from GitHub and then copy it to my GCP Bucket with public access. This allows the BIG-IP to retrieve it during onboard. The result will be the following:
\n
\n
Using my existing network stack with 3x VPCs: mgmt, external, internal
\n
2x BIG-IP instance, version=16.1.2.2
\n
4x CPU, 3-NICs
\n
Using my customized runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance01-jeff.yaml and runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance02-jeff.yaml from my GCP Bucket
\n
BIG-IP cluster and network settings only
\n
\n
Here we go!
\n
Note: For demo purposes of this article, we will use a tagged version of the repo to maintain article consistency with code.
\n
1. From your terminal, set DEPLOYMENT_NAME, set CONFIG_FILE, change folders, and change branch to pinned tag
2. Review the entire README for instructions and prerequisites
\n
3. Edit the file sample_failover_existing_network.yaml
\n
4. Modify the BIG-IP addresses to match your existing VPC network
\n
Note: My existing network setup consists of the following: mgmt = 10.1.1.0/24, external = 10.1.10.0/24, internal = 10.1.20.0/24. Match your environment and use available IPs within the subnet range. I will also update the cfeTag.
5. Edit the runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance01.yaml and runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance02.yaml files according to your existing network stack. If you changed the cfeTag or secretID in earlier steps, then update the values here too.
\n
6. Save both files and upload to a location accessible by BIG-IP during onboard
The following tests will work if you deploy the BIG-IP with Layer 4-7 settings. For my demo settings, the \"existing stack\" does not create BIG-IP application objects nor does it create an application server. Fear not! You can still POST an AS3 declaration to the BIG-IP, or you can login manually and create a pool and listener. Check out the F5 AS3 Docs for more example declarations!
\n
1. From your local machine, curl the demo application (value from vip1PublicIp)
2. Perform a security violation by sending a disallowed 'method' of DELETE
\ncurl http://35.233.137.160 -X DELETE# Sample Output\n<html><head><title>Request Rejected</title></head><body>The requested URL was rejected.
