With the OneFuse F5 module it’s now possible to create API-consumable, policy-based services for F5 BIG-IP features including LTM, GTM, APM, ASM and PEM. F5 administrators can create and customize scenarios such as server load balancing, app security, GSLB and more using OneFuse template-based policies without custom coding. With the included IPAM, DNS, Naming and Property Set features, it’s easy to embed other dependent services such as virtual server and pool naming standards, virtual IP assignments and DNS registrations. Teams and tools can easily consume F5 using native support for vRealize Automation 7/8/Cloud, Terraform, Ansible, ServiceNow, CloudBolt CMP, Python as well as direct API consumption.

Features & Capabilities
- Utilizes F5 Application Services 3 Extension (AS3), a declarative interface for configuration applications on BIG-IP, to include features such as LTM, GTM and Security Policy attachment.
- Integrates with OneFuse Naming module to name a new service (e.g. virtual servers and pools)
- Integrates with OneFuse IPAM module to reserve an IP Address for a new service (e.g. virtual servers)
- Integrates with OneFuse DNS module to reserve DNS Record(s) for a new service (e.g. virtual servers)
- Provisioning/Deprovisioning Scenarios:
- Create and Destroy a new service (e.g. VIP) at once
- Create new service (e.g. virtual server) and add/remove members/nodes incrementally. As members/machines are deprovisioned, they are removed from the service, and the last member/machine out deletes the service.
- Sample Policy Payloads for creating a destroying services
