1 TopicHow does F5 PEM send API HTTP Requests to an orchestration system?
Recently I decided to read a little about the F5 options for a service and mobile providers just to have a basic culture if I am asked about the options. I understood how subscriber discovery works with DHCP and Radius AAA and got an idea that with irules and supersideband even HTTP API requests can be used to get the subscriber info. Nice and all but then I watched this 8 year old video(308) BIG-IP Policy Enforcement Manager (PEM) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Demo - YouTubeand I just don't get how PEM sends API requests nativly as shown in the video, maybe again F5 irule sudeband is usedor the F5 Virtual Network Functions Manager (VNFM) is used but the video shows that PEM can send API requests to autoscale servers and I from what I have read VNFM is for autoscaling F5 virtual machines Virtual Network Functions and not 3rth party virtual machine servers. Maybe I am wrong and PEM has native option for API requests oe the VNFM can autoscale not only F5 VM devices, so I deceded to check with the community.Solved2.7KViews0likes3Comments
