iRules
iRules tricks, tips and interesting tidbits.
We're putting the band back together. And by band, I mean team. And by "putting back together" I mean we're all going to be in the same place, physically. This is a rarity for our remotely distributed team, but next week it is happening, and that is a great thing. It means planning, policies, preparation, prognostication and many other things that don't begin with the same letter. It also means that there will be some new, cool things to look forward to in what will likely be the near future, from a DevCentral perspective. Rarely do we get the whole...

What could you do with your code in 20 Lines or Less? That's the question I ask (sometimes?) every week for the DevCentral community, and every week I go looking to find cool new examples that show just how flexible and powerful iRules can be without getting in over your head. This week the forums provide us with more examples of iRules wizardry (or at least apprentice awesomeness) in a scant 20 lines or less each. The credit goes to the awesome community for providing such frequent and awesome examples. This week's installation of iRules...

That's the question I ask (sometimes?) every week for the DevCentral community, and every week I go looking to find cool new examples that show just how flexible and powerful iRules can be without getting in over your head. This week we've got three awesome examples of iRules that are designed to increase your application's security in less than 21 lines of code. Dealing with header size, cache control, and a Microsoft advisory, we get to see a couple of different ways in which iRules...

The holidays have passed, the new year is upon us and there is much geeky goodness to be thankful for. I am thankful for the forums and the wikis, the tech tips and blogs. I am thankful for the outstanding community that drives it all, and the supporting cast of hundreds within F5 that helps support this DevCentral thing we get to do. I am so thankful, in fact, that I am here to share five of my favorite recent DevCentral additions with you. Hurried over the holidays? Nagged after the new year? Fall behind on your feeds? Never fear,...

This week nitass and hoolio deliver the 1-2-3 punch with 3 cool iRules to perform various tasks that I deem useful, or interesting, or...both. We get a look at dealing with destination servers with a dynamic IP, handling SSL and non SSL connections on the same...

That's the question I ask (sometimes?) every week for the DevCentral community, and every week I go looking to find cool new examples that show just how flexible and powerful iRules can be without getting in over your head. This week I'm digging through my list of cool threads from the past month or so and picking out a few that I think are interesting. More to follow, but we're starting with a cool little geolocation redirection rule that will allow you to direct people from different...

As rare as the Hippocampus and as fleeting as the Pegasus, this special Monday edition of the Top5 is brought to you by "too much to get done on Friday"(tm). Think of it as a bonus edition though, not delayed, as this Top5 comes bearing wondrous gifts from around DevCentral. From iRules Challenges to MVP contributed Tech Tips to a special 20LoL and more, the community has borne deliciously geeky fruit of all manner the past weeks. So much so in fact that the bounty could not possibly be contained within this abbreviated format. Even still, I feel that the...

What could you do with your code in 20 Lines or Less? That's the question I ask (almost) every week for the devcentral community, and every week I go looking to find cool new examples that show just how flexible and powerful iRules can be without getting in over your head. By a show of hands, who else here is surprised and/or excited that we finally made it to the 50th 20 Lines or Less? I'm a little of both, though more excited than anything. Years ago when I started the series I wasn't sure if anyone would...

In a shocking turn of events, the gracious sales readiness team invited me back to yet again present an iRules Challenge to the inbound FSEs during their multi-week grooming process here at F5 Seattle, lovingly known as "boot camp". It's a joy for me to be a part of these boot camps not only because I get to geek out about iRules and dream up challenges to get people more involved with DevCentral and iRules, two of my main squeezes in the tech world. But also because it's killer to see the talent rolling through, chat with some of them...

The 20 Lines or Less, the DC weekly podcast, 99% of the hundreds of blogs Don and Lori seem to put out each week...these are but a few of the things you won't see this week in the DC Top 5. With as good as the content is that's getting left out, you can only imagine how good the stuff that made the cut is. It's been a jam packed few weeks since the last installment. I've survived, somehow, and I'm here to tell the story of what DevCentral's been up to, at least this last week. So check it...
