Module 2: Application Templates & Deployment¶

In this module, we will learn how to use Application Templates and how to deploy an Application.

The Application Templates will be created by marco, the Administrator. larry will create the security policies and let Marco know about the ones to associate with the templates. Once the template is ready with all the necessary information, it will be ready to use by the Application owner.

paula needs to deploy an application, she has multiple Application servers. At this time, she needs to test the performance of her application, she also wants to make her application secure before staging it to production. She connects to the BIG-IQ and has access to her Application Dashboard. paula uses the application template created by Marco to deploy her Application.

After a week of testing her application (in the class ~5 min), she will ask larry to fine tune and validate the learning done by the Web Application Firewall (BIG-IP ASM).

Once the security policy is tuned and validated, paula will enforce blocking mode in the policy.

Finally, we will simulate “bad” traffic to show the security policy blocking it.
