“Switch” Gone Wild

This week Deb looks at a post from gregt, who was having some trouble with choosing a pool based on the requested URI.

Posters aherrman and cmbhatt (CB) jump in to correct the logical order of comparisons (most specific first, please!). CB further suggests using switch with wildcards to replace the nested “if” commands that used “starts_with” and “ends_with”.

You’ll probably want to pull up the post to follow along on this one, so here it is: iRule sends to wrong Pool and Port

DevCentral EMEA Tour 2007, Episode 2

DevCentral TV — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 23:45:25 GMT

In this next installment of Colin's European tour, Sam Pickles is kind enough to take time out of his day between presenting, answering questions and generally assisting with the CoE in general to talk to us about an interesting experience he had in a bake-off. iRules helped seal the deal again, along with BIG-IP and TMoS and their astounding performance.

The requirement is 65K connections? Sure, we can do that. How about 200K instead? 'Nuff said.

Get the inside scoop on the TechCenter from Steve Mitchell and DCTV

DevCentral TV — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 23:09:00 GMT

Steve Mitchell takes us behind the scenes in the TechCenter where we get to see the thousands of cables, tons of servers, and even the nifty curved air-ducting up close and personal. In this tour we learn about the engineering and implementation of this facility was kind enough to take us into the lab itself to give us an "under the covers" look at what's going on behind the scenes. We talked about how things were planned out, how long it took to build things out, what makes all that ease of use and speed to deployment possible, and more.

Check out the brand new TechCenter with DCTV and Dan Wright

As our second installment in the three part TechCenter series, Dan Wright takes some time to walk DCTV through the brand new TechCenter here at F5 just minutes before the Grand Opening. This new facility has some huge potential for researching and demonstrating cool solutions that make use of not only F5 gear, but some of the industry's most broad reaching software applications as well.

Join the celebration for the opening of F5's new TechCenter

DevCentral TV — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 23:32:00 GMT

Yesterday was an exciting day here at F5, due to the launch of the new TechCenter, complete with ceremonial ribbon cutting and all. The TechCenter is an outstanding new facility that's going to let F5 have a great place to demonstrate not only F5's gear, but the way that F5's gear interacts with applications to improve Application Delivery as a whole. With over 3000 cat5 cables, 5 Kilowatts per rack, and enough HVAC to keep it all cool and then some, the TechCenter is a site to behold.
