F5 in Practice. Closing the F5 learning gap.
One insight at a time: production problems, exam traps and the application behind the box, written by me from a live BIG-IP. No spam, no fluff, free.
What I write about
Three things you'll find in every issue.
The gap is between passing the exam and running F5 with confidence in front of people who are waiting for an answer. Each issue closes a bit of it: one problem, one explanation, one thing you can use at work the same day.
Production problems
The blocking-mode policy that wasn't blocking, the host header that broke the app, the 2am failover. What happened, why, and the fix.
Exam traps
The blueprint objectives people get wrong, the questions that read one way and mean another, and how to study so it sticks.
Both sides of the wire
What the application is doing behind the virtual server, in the developer's language, so you can explain the policy to the people who have to live with it.
