F5 solutions integrate with the leading private cloud technology stacks, including OpenStack, VMware, and Microsoft. For OpenStack, F5 provides native orchestration with Heat templates to automate the end-to-end deployment of advanced app and security services, reducing deployment times from days to minutes. Integration with VMware vRealize Orchestrator through the Blue Medora vRO plug-in reduces configuration time, enables selfservice of F5 application services by app owners, and automates complex, multi-step workflows. F5 iWorkflow enables integration of F5 devices with software-defined networking (SDN) orchestration systems providing a single point of contact between the orchestrator and F5 devices.

Tier 2—the tenant or app tier—includes emerging, cloud-native applications that can be hosted in containers or disaggregated into microservices. The apps require specific services addressing intra-app traffic (east-west traffic). Those services, which can include basic load balancing to web app firewall or web performance optimizations, can be delivered on a per-application basis through highly scalable, flexible software such as virtual editions of BIG-IP products. This two-tier architecture model, standardized on F5 application services, offers flexibility, a strategic point of control where proven app policies can be enforced, and complete visibility of all traffic, taking advantage of hardware where it’s needed and software agility near the app.

F5 Application Connector is an add-on to the F5 BIG-IP platform, allowing services insertion for public cloud applications. It also acts as a cloud proxy instance for securely connecting public clouds to an organization’s application service infrastructure within cloud interconnects (colocations) or data centers. This enables the use of public cloud resources as part of an organization’s compute infrastructure. Application Connector also performs workload discovery within the Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure public cloud, and provides a secure connection back to interconnect services or data centers, allowing application services insertion on the BIG-IP platform.

Enabling automation and orchestration is key to achieving the benefits of cloud and software-defined architectures and to scaling application services on demand. F5 platforms offers many ways to program the application services fabric and network, enabling organizations to automate deployment, react in real time to events, and easily integrate into orchestration systems. F5 iRules scripting has long provided granular traffic control and visibility, enabling customization, rapid response to code errors and security vulnerabilities, and support for new protocols. New F5 iRules LX lowers costs and speeds deployments by extending iRules to JavaScript developers and providing access to, and easier integration with, over 250,000 community Node.js packages. In addition, with F5 iApps templates, organizations can automate deployment and configuration of application services in minutes. F5 iControl® REST APIs and SDKs provide integration with leading open source and commercial orchestration systems, VMware, OpenStack clouds, and configuration management systems such as Puppet, Chef, and Ansible.

F5 BIG-IQ Centralized Management is F5’s management and orchestration platform. It provides a central point of control for F5 physical and virtual devices and the app delivery and security services that run on them. BIG-IQ Centralized Management is available both as a virtual edition and an F5 appliance. It simplifies management, helps ensure compliance, and gives you the visibility and reporting you need to troubleshoot and respond to issues and security attacks.

BIG-IQ Centralized Management manages policies, licenses, SSL certificates, images, and configurations for F5 devices and the following BIG-IP software modules:

BIG-IQ Centralized Management supports BIG-IP appliances, VIPRION chassis/blades, and BIG-IP virtual editions (VE), whether they are running locally or in the cloud. It is ideal for organizations that require central management of F5 devices and modules, license management of BIG-IP VEs, or central reporting and alerting on application availability, performance, and security.

BIG-IP iSeries appliances include a baseboard management controller (BMC) and support for the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) protocol. With the BMC and Always-On Management (AOM) firmware, F5 customers can have deeper access to internal sensor data for system monitoring, including multiple thermal, airflow, and voltage readings. Out-of-band alerts for hardware-level problems are possible without a running TMOS instance. Gain remote system console access to the BMC and AOM functions through the same IP address of the TMOS management port, eliminating the need for a special or separate network. BIG-IP iSeries appliances also can show system information, such as sensor values for troubleshooting, on their color touchscreen LCD displays.

The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) specify requirements for cryptographic modules. FIPS compliance is required for many government agencies and industries such as financial services and healthcare that demand the highest standards in information, application, and data security. F5 offers a broad range of FIPS-certified hardware appliances that support a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 implementation for RSA cryptographic key generation, use, and protection. Keys generated on or imported into a BIG-IP system hardware security module (HSM) are not extractable in plain-text format. BIG-IP hardware appliances with integrated HSMs also have tamper-evident seals with a hardened-epoxy cover that, if removed, will render the card useless. For additional protection, the BIG-IP 10350v-F supports a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 implementation of the Internal HSM (PCI card). This security rating means the 10350v-F HSM card adds tamper-resistance, which is an additional means of detection to the tamper-evident methods of Level 2, as well as a response to physical access attempts, or to cryptographic module use or tampering.

This document describes common misconfigurations of F5 Networks BIG-IP systems and their elimination. Some settings can be different for different BIG-IP versions.

All BIG-IP products share a common underlying architecture, F5"s Traffic Management Operating System (TMOS), which provides unified intelligence, flexibility and programmability.

BIG-IP system uses different HTTP Profiles for managing HTTP traffic. In particular, BIG-IP system uses HTTP Profile that specifies the string used as the Server name in traffic generated by BIG-IP LTM.

BIG-IP systems can be protected against HTTP host header attacks using Centralized Policy Matching (CPM) feature of LTM module or iRules. Let"s consider an example of configuration BIG-IP system with LTM and APM modules using CPM that illustrates the main idea of this protection.

In the Maximum Login Failures field, specify a number. If the user fails to log in the specified number of times, the user is locked out of the system. Therefore, F5 Networks recommends that you specify a value that allows for a reasonable number of login failures before user lockout.

BIG-IP LTM - Optimize app availability and user experience with intelligent L4-L7 load balancing, SSL/TLS offloading and visibility, and programmatic traffic manipulation with F5 iRules.

Combining BIG-IP VE with F5 Container Ingress Services (free & open-source) delivers advanced application services to container environments including Kubernetes.

Additionally, F5 has made it faster and easier to deploy and configure BIG-IP VE via the following mechanisms that can be integrated with all common automation and CI/CD tools:tellaskf5@f5.com.

"The solution should include protection against web page attacks like what is available in FortiWeb.""For me, an area for improvement in F5 Advanced WAF is the reporting as it isn"t so clear. The vendor needs to work on the reporting capability of the solution.

What I"d like to see in the next release of F5 Advanced WAF is threat intelligence to protect your web application, particularly having that capability out-of-the-box, and not needing to pay extra for it, similar to what"s offered in FortiWeb, for example, any request that originates from a malicious IP will be blocked automatically by FortiWeb. F5 Advanced WAF should have the intelligence for blocking malicious IPs, or automatically blocking threats included in the license, instead of making it an add-on feature that users have to pay for apart from the standard licensing fees.""F5 Advanced WAF could improve resource usage, it is CPU intensive. Additionally, adding automated remediation would be a benefit. For example, an easy button alerts us of the events that are occurring, and what we want to do at the time. An automated approach where somebody could be alerted very quickly. Instead of going and reconfiguring everything, an automated approach is what I"m looking at.""I would like to see a better interface and better documentation compatibility with other products. It"s more complicated with OWASP.""The reporting portion of F5 Advance WAF is not great. They need to work out something better, as it is very basic. You only see the top IPs, I think there is more they can offer.""We usually use a third-party tool for logging and reporting. It would be nice if we could do that right on this solution. They have one, but it"s not very stable. Logging and reporting effectively would be a big enhancement.""I would like to see additional controls.""Its price should be better. It is expensive."
