5 TopicsEnhance your GenAI chatbot with the power of Agentic RAG and F5 platform
Agentic RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) enhances the capabilities of a GenAI chatbot by integrating dynamic knowledge retrieval into its conversational abilities, making it more context-aware and accurate. In this demo, I will demonstrate an autonomous decision-making GenAI chatbot utilizing Agentic RAG. I will explore what Agentic RAG is and why it's crucial in today's AI landscape. I will also discuss how organizations can leverage GPUaaS (GPU as a Service) or AI Factory providers to accelerate their AI strategy. F5 platform provides robust security features that protect sensitive data while ensuring high availability and performance. They optimize the chatbot by streamlining traffic management and reducing latency, ensuring smooth interactions even during high demand. This integration ensures the GenAI chatbot is not only smart but also reliable and secure for enterprise use.349Views1like0CommentsWhat CLI tools are in your toolbox for testing or troubleshooting application deployments on BIG-IP?
In trying to nail down a rate limiting solution, I reached back for my trusty apache-bench utility, ab, to push some load with concurrency at the virtual server. But...in today's SSL everywhere, discovered that ab does not have a flag to ignore SSL errors, and I don't have valid certs in my local lab, so I couldn't use that to push load. In a quick search I found hey, installed that on my ubuntu test box, and seems to be a reasonable replacement (see below). But that got me thinking...what cli tools are out there for test/troubleshooting that I'm missing out on? jrahm@unuc:~$ hey -n 10000 -c 5 https://172.16.101.50/ Summary: Total: 8.2474 secs Slowest: 0.0510 secs Fastest: 0.0023 secs Average: 0.0041 secs Requests/sec: 1212.5047 Total data: 20000 bytes Size/request: 2 bytes Response time histogram: 0.002 [1] | 0.007 [9956] |■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 0.012 [36] | 0.017 [2] | 0.022 [0] | 0.027 [0] | 0.032 [0] | 0.036 [0] | 0.041 [0] | 0.046 [0] | 0.051 [5] | Latency distribution: 10% in 0.0032 secs 25% in 0.0036 secs 50% in 0.0040 secs 75% in 0.0045 secs 90% in 0.0050 secs 95% in 0.0055 secs 99% in 0.0065 secs679Views3likes1CommentTCP Ping Functionality on BIG-IP Appliance
TCP Ping Functionality on BIG-IP Appliance Hello All Please can anyone advise if it is possible to perform a TCP Ping from a BIG-IP appliance either in TMSH or TMOS? If so, please can you include any reference documentation. Many thanks for your help in advance.489Views0likes1CommentWhich Tools for Testing ?
Hi all Whilst reading through some of the profiles on an LTM, I thought to myself I've never really tested a lot of this stuff. For example, the Fast HTTP profile claims to be faster that a standard HTTP profile, however, at this moment in time I am simply just taking F5's word for much of this. Clearly this isn't the best way to learn. Can anyone recommend any free or low cost tools I can use for different test scenarios & further my understanding of the myriad of profiles? These could include: Sending large amounts of traffic through the LTM, for example to simulating a DoS attack. Generating traffic from a large variety of source IP address. Measuring throughput, delay etc. Bear in mind this is all to be done on a home PC which I understand limits my options. I'm sure there exists many enterprise-level tool to do the same thing, and cost a lot more! Thank you.Solved574Views0likes3Commentsidentify unused objects in a config (bigIP.conf)
Hello, When a config is changed often, and by different teams, it is not unusual that services do not get removed properly. How to know whether a node is not a member of a pool? If a certificate file is not used by an SSL profile? If a pool is not used by a virtual server? If a VLAN is never designated by VS or pool? Is there any tool you know to identify "useless" or obsolete data in a config. thank you very much Alberto1.6KViews0likes14Comments
