Rapid Blue/Green Deployment in Any Environment
Secure and stabilize your customers’ digital experience during blue/green rapid deployments with F5 load balancing solutions.
Why Adaptive Load Balancing Matters
Rapid deployments create a lot of risks for your digital experience and customer trust. Blue/green deployments help reduce risk, but apps are increasingly complex and scaling fast. You need load balancing to respond to next-generation distributed apps.
How F5 Can Help
F5 offers load balancing solutions to build the next generation of multi-cloud and containerized applications. Use your CI/CD pipeline vendors to simultaneously deploy load balancing and security with code and consolidate duplicate native services into a unified traffic management solution with F5.
