Mastering Imperative and Declarative Automation with F5 BIG-IP

This lab provides an in-depth exploration of declarative automation techniques for BIG-IP, covering a spectrum of tools and practices to streamline application delivery and infrastructure management. Participants will start by deploying AS3 (Application Services 3) using tools such as Ansible and/or Postman, gaining hands-on experience in automating configuration and management tasks. The lab will also cover the automation of BIG-IP with AS3, including enabling Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with FAST (F5 Application Services Templates. By the end of this lab, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of leveraging declarative automation to optimize BIG-IP deployments and operations.
SSLO Threat Hunting Lab
2:00 PM – 5:00 PM (Afternoon)
In this lab you will work with a number of open source security tools and F5's SSL Orchestrator in order to uncover threats residing within your network. With minimal guidance, lab participants will be expected to navigate through the SSL Orchestrator to help enable the different open source tools and work through those devices to uncover and mitigate, block, or disable the offending hosts, clients, and applications. Lab participants can benefit from being familiar with SSL Orchestrator and should be comfortable with modifying it's configuration. Being familiar with tools to query security event logs and different open source security tools will be an added benefit.
