Streamlining Dev Workflows: A Lightweight Self-Service Solution for Bypassing Bot Defense Safely
Automate the update of an F5 Distributed Cloud IP prefix set that’s already wired to a service policy** with the “Skip Bot Defense” option set. An approved developer hits a simple, secret endpoint; the system detects their current public IP and updates the designated IP set with a `/32`. Bot Defense is skipped for that IP on dev/test traffic—immediately. No tickets. No console spelunking. No risky, long-lived exemptions. At a glance Self-service: Developers add their _current_ IP in seconds. - Tight scope: Changes apply only to the dev/test services attached to that policy.
