F5 Roles required for Catalog Items
Having difficulty mapping required roles for a group to have proper access to catalog items. If I create a group call Security-Team and I want them to manage the security like WAF (Web App * API Protection) and Bot Defense, Web App Scanning and whatever else the Security Team should be monitoring to keep our environment safe. What Roles are required for management? They don't need access to everything, just what is required for the application security. Then we have a group called Support-Teams that need ReadOnly access to everything so they can log into F5 XC and just view everything with no ability to make changes. Not sure what Roles would get assigned to this group. Both scenarios let's assume all namespaces. Any help or direction is most appreciated.
Can I use XC as a TCP proxy and DDoS Protection?
Hello, experts! I’m a longtime BIG-IP user but a complete newbie to XC. I have a task and would love some guidance on the best way to approach it. The goal is to use XC as a TCP proxy and for DDoS protection. The scenario: A client has a distributed network of ATMs that connect to a server. XC should sit in front of the server as a TCP proxy. The requests come in via IP. A few questions: Which XC product should I use for this? TCP Load Balancer requires requests to come via a domain name, correct? Would I need a dedicated IP from XC in this case? Can DDoS protection be applied in this setup? Am I thinking about this correctly? Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!Acronyms
Acronyms, are used all the time and the author /presentor is usually convinced that everyone in the audience understands what they mean, but every once in a while you hear or read something that you are not sure of the meaning. We are all professionals, that do not want to look like we are the only one in the room who does not know. So after hearing a talk or reading an article we often find ourselves looking it up; this can become confusing because acronyms mean different things when we search outside our field. For example CE what does it mean? The letters "CE" are the abbreviation of French phrase "Conformité Européene" which literally means "European Conformity". In the dictionary you will probably find CE meaning Common Era or Christian Era. When looking for a more modern meaning, we will find it may mean Consumer Electronics. But here in our community, when someone writes CE, they mean Customer Edge. Here, you have, at your fingertips a list of acronyms, unconfused with other fields. Please let me know if I missed any acronyms so I can add them to our list.
