2.3. Module – Deploy an F5 BIG-IP Active/Active HA Pair Using ARM Templates¶
In this lab you will be deploying an active/active pair of F5 BIG-IPs in Azure using the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. ARM templates automate many of the deployment steps and ensure a validated topology and configuration of your F5 BIG-IP instances within Azure.
To see a list of all F5 Azure ARM templates, go to https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-azure-arm-templates. Take your time to review the README.md.
Tip
The supported templates are fully supported by F5, and customers can call for issues. The experimental folder contains other template options.
For this lab, we will be using a template from the following location:
