Explore NGINX One, an all-in-one platform that integrates the best of NGINX's offerings into a unified package that includes a cloud-based dashboard and access to F5 Distributed Cloud. Customers get advanced load balancing, web and application server capabilities, API gateway functionalities, and security features. The goal of NGINX One is to provide unparalleled performance, security, and scalability for modern applications, whether they are deployed in the cloud, on-premises, or in hybrid environments.

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF deployed on Regional Edge and App Connect Deployment mode. This deployment model offers an optimal solution for scenarios where backend applications are inaccessible from the internet, lacking a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or Public IP. In this case Customer Edge sites can be deployed to connect these "private" customer sites to the XC Global Network via IPSEC tunnels opened from Distributed Cloud Customer Edges to the closes two REs sites. Distributed Cloud WAF is deployed on the Regional Edges, where the services are being advertised to the Internet through anycast IPs. Customer Edges are being deployed on the customer sites and connect to the closest RE and traffic will be inspected by the WAAF security policy. The traffic will then be forwarded across the distributed cloud global network towards an egress Regional Edge and then over an IPSEC tunnel to the Customer edge site where it will be forwarded to the backend applications as pure IP-based traffic.

Systems are at higher risk without a concerted, repeatable application security configuration process. In this lab, you will learn how to build a declarative AWAF policy and achieve OWASP Top Ten (2021) compliance with the BIG-IP OWASP Compliance Dashboard. A complete CI/CD pipeline is used to deploy our AWAF policy to the BIG-IP system using Application Services 3 Extension (AS3) and Ansible.

Several of the fundamental principles of F5 Distributed Cloud (XC) are highlighted in this lab environment. You will be simulating a customer during the lab who needs to verify the safety of an application. The objective is to verify the applications safety of on-premises or application on cloud before and after enabling F5 Distributed Cloud Console WAAP Capabilities by sending attacks to the application.

In the current AI market, the demand for scalable and secure deployments is increasing. Public cloud providers (AWS, Google, and Microsoft) are competing to provide GenAI infrastructure, driving the need for multi-cloud and hybrid cloud deployments. However, distributed deployments come with challenges, including: Complexity in managing multi-cloud environments. Lack of unified visibility across clouds. Inconsistent security and policy enforcement. F5 Distributed Cloud provides a solution by offering a seamless, secure, and portable environment for GenAI workloads across clouds. This lab will guide you through setting up and securing GenAI applications with F5 Distributed Cloud on AWS EKS and GCP GKE.

Welcome to the World Wide Technology / F5 Virtual Environment (vLab) setup and hands-on F5 201 Exam Lab exercises. The purpose of this guide is to provide a sampling of hands-on exercises to better understand the subjects outlined in the 201-TMOS Administration Exam. F5 certification exams are designed to required hands-on experience to pass the test and these exercises will help you deal with exam questions requiring you to interpret configuration and other outputs from the BIG-IP.
