Post of the Week – High Speed Logging, iRules and you

This week Jason suggested a pretty awesome post regarding High Speed Logging (HSL). I thought I'd take this as an opportunity to briefly talk about HSL in iRules since it's a pretty cool feature that didn't get a ton of press when it went live. I then, of course, went on to talk about the post in particular and some of the questions being asked, and share a bit of Spark's ever awesome insight into iRules fu.

Post of the Week – The triumphant return, thanks to LTM VE

The launch of the LTM VE forum and the amazing discussions happening there seemed like an appropriate time to reinstate the post of the week.  Each week we’ll pick a post to highlight, then discuss it, why it’s interesting, and any additions or extras we can throw in to add to the post.  This week I’m trying to provide answers to the top 10 questions asked already about the LTM VE. The questions are, in no particular order:

    1. Is the 90 day trial license renewable?
    2. Is the CLI accessible?
    3. Can I use tools I’m familiar with like tcpdump and qkview?
    4. Can I upgrade or downgrade the version of BIG-IP running in the VE?
    5. Can I create an HA pair of VEs?
    6. Can I run the LTM VE on other platforms such as Fusion or VirtualBox?
    7. Can I get support on those other platforms, if I can get things running?
    8. Will my iControl utilities, such as the iRule Editor, work with the LTM VE?
    9. Will there be future versions with more cool stuff?
    10. When? Where? What will they include?

To get the answers just watch the video. If you’ve got suggestions for posts that should be featured or a question you want answered, just submit them to the forums and make a note that you’d like to see your thread in the PotW and we’ll take a look.
