F5 Distributed Cloud WAF on Regional Deployment Mode

F5 Distributed Cloud - RE (Regional Edge) deployment mode

This WWT Lab will provide a hand on experience of F5 Distributed Cloud WAF deployed on Regional Edge in deployment mode. This deployment mode is better suited when protecting backend applications which are already public accessible from the internet via FQDN or Public IP.  

Architecture

XC WAF is deployed on the REs, where the services are being advertised to the Internet through Anycast IPs. The end users will connect to their closest RE and the traffic will be inspected by the WAF security policy. The traffic will then be forwarded across the XC Global Network towards an egress RE and then towards the customer site as regular Internet traffic. The customer will filter the traffic, only allowing traffic forwarded by the XC platform.

You will be able to achieve Regional Edge Deployment Mode on F5 XC, by deploying resources on AWS, Azure with an application. Accessing through F5 Distributed Cloud HTTPS Load balancer.
