Using ATC VMware to build mutli-cloud networking Private Data Center Site CE and an AWS Cloud CE Site to show the ease in deployment. We also show how to quickly stitch these together for secure private communication.

The lab summarizes how F5 Distributed Cloud can discover, inventory, and secure critical APIs, helping you defend your known endpoints and bring the rogue Shadow APIs into the light. The connected world runs on APIs. Your banking app uses them, your ride share app uses them, even that weather app you check before walking out the door, it gets that data from an API. We interact with them multiple times throughout our daily life, to do everything from the most essential to the most mundane. They are simply everywhere and more and more are being published every day. As you would expect, this proliferation of APIs has marked them as a prime target for malicious actors. In the last couple years there have been quite a few well publicized attacks. From social media to fitness firms, no industry seems to be safe. With recent reports indicating that API vulnerabilities are costing businesses billions of dollars annually, it's no wonder they are at the top of mind of many cyber security professionals.

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.
