We are using F5 Distributed Cloud App Stack to distribute work load between multiple servers
  • Simple interface
  • Templates help a lot
  • Clear results
  • It's still a little early so the app feels foreign to our ops teams
  • I would like to customize the UI so I can visually see if I'm in Prod or Dev based on background colors
  • Templates are a little awkward to create
F5 Distributed Cloud App Stack is quite straightforward with the UI and you can expose the features you want. This simplifies the experience for non-admins
