- We would like to get an inventory of vips, pools and nodes into our cmdb
- Automation to deploy a vip, nodes and configuration from a ServiceNow catalog item
- It has provided an automatic way for our business to continue when we have an outage.
- F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)
We evaluated this over a decade ago. Back then our organization used to many monolithic authentication and authorization methods and it was determined it be too expensive to rewrite them to work with APM.
