From CiscoLive! 2014, F5's Nathan Pearce and Vincent Ng discuss and demonstrate F5 integration with the Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI). Featured in this demonstration are the APIC controller, how it talks directly to F5 BIG-IP application delivery devices, and more details about how you can access, download, and install the necessary configuration files on the APIC controller.
See how the APIC controller is able to access BIG-IP as a device cluster, map logical interfaces with the physical interfaces, and apply the BIG-IP in the desired network. Particularly interesting is the ability to choose a tenant and apply layer 4-7 services by simply creating a service graph and dragging and dropping a BIG-IP into the environment to create a virtual server.
This solution helps joint F5 Cisco customers deploy applications more quickly and react with more agility to immediate change requirements.
