F5 BIG-IP Next Application Migration
Advanced Configuration Lab
Solution overview
The application service migration tool enables you to select virtual servers currently running on your BIG-IP devices and convert them into Application Services (AS3 declarations). These can then be deployed to BIG-IP Next instances.
This BIG-IP Next Central Manager version supports migration from a UCS (Unified Configuration Set) for application delivery and control services for HTTP and HTTPS applications. Once migrated, the application services are added to BIG-IP Next Central Manager, where you can edit the AS3 declarations for future deployment.
During the pre-deployment stage of application migration, you can install shared objects such as iRules, SSL certificates, and WAF or Access policies to BIG-IP Next Central Manager. Once installed, these objects can be attached to application services and modified within BIG-IP Next Central Manager. The attached application services will automatically update any modifications to these objects.
