We're excited to invite you to participate in a or more Test Drive Labs, where innovation meets hands-on learning. This January and Febuary, 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.
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.
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.

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.
