Test Drive Labs

Join this series of F5 Test Drive Labs for interactive demonstrations and workshops to dive deeper into F5 solutions and learn from our team of experts.

We're excited to invite you to participate in a or more Test Drive Labs, where innovation meets hands-on learning. This January and February, our expert-led sessions will take place most Tuesdays, offering a deep dive into cutting-edge solutions that can help you optimize your infrastructure, modernize your applications, enhance security, and master the growing complexity to Al.

What are Test Drive Labs?

Each lab provides valuable learning opportunities with live demonstrations, hands-on experiences, and expert-led training to empower you at every step of your application delivery and security journey. Whether you're exploring the power of F5 to deliver and secure AI applications, want to automate deployments, or need to combat advanced threats and fraud targeting financial institutions, there's something in this series for everyone.

(ISC)2 CPE Credits for Security Sessions

Security-focused F5 Test Drive Lab sessions will qualify for (ISC)2 CPE credits. As an approved (ISC)2 CPE Submitter Partner we will submit for CPE credits on your behalf. (ISC)2 Member ID will be asked during the post-session surveys.

Secure AI Data Delivery with F5 BIG-IP for S3-compatible Object Storage

Modern AI pipelines depend on fast, resilient, and secure access to S3-compatible object storage, and traditional architectures simply cannot keep up. In this Test Drive Lab, you will learn how F5 BIG-IP becomes the front door to your S3 storage, ensuring high performance, availability, and security across training, fine-tuning, and RAG workflows.

You’ll experience how to:

  • Configure BIG-IP as a high-performance S3 front end that balances traffic across storage nodes using strategies such as least connections to prevent hotspots and sustain throughput.
  • Implement health checks, write-quorum monitoring, and intelligent failover to maintain reliable data access and keep GPUs consistently fed.
  • Apply programmable traffic policies and metadata-based routing to protect datasets, manage risk during cluster transitions, and enforce consistent governance.
  • AI performance and enterprise value is bottlenecked by data performance.
  • BIG-IP provides a unified, programmable S3 data front door that abstracts storage endpoints, maintains pipeline reliability, and enables organizations to scale GPU fleets without rewriting applications.


Reserve your spot today and take the first step towards building high-performing AI data pipelines.

F5 Insight for ADSP

Modern applications generate more telemetry than ever, but turning that data into operational insight remains a challenge. Join us for a hands-on introduction to F5 Insight for ADSP and learn how to gain unified visibility across your BIG-IP environment. Through guided exercises and real-world support scenarios, you'll explore how F5 Insight helps teams quickly identify issues, understand root causes, and take action with confidence. Working through a series of operational tickets, you'll use dashboards, AI-powered insights, anomaly detection, and telemetry data to accelerate troubleshooting and improve application health. Whether you're responsible for applications, infrastructure, operations, or security, you'll leave with practical experience you can apply immediately.

You will learn how to:

  • Observe application, infrastructure, security, and resource utilization data in a single view
  • Identify performance gaps and operational risks using intuitive dashboards and reporting
  • Use AI-powered operational insights to accelerate root cause analysis
  • Troubleshoot real-world BIG-IP scenarios using telemetry and analytics
  • Understand application health, resource consumption, and fleet-wide trends
