Infrastructure-as-Code is a significant movement across the networking industry that builds on core principles within the DevOps movement that favor treating everything possible "as code."

The F5 Terraform Automation Lab is an hands-on overview to introduce the concept of IaC (Infrastructure-as-Code) for managing F5 application services using BIG-IP Terraform Provider. 

The lab is divided into 6 modules to allow lab users to learn the below concepts.

• Module1: Install Terraform and BIG-IP Provider.
• Module2: Create and modify terraform files to perform imperative automation using F5 provider resources.
• Module3: Delete/remove F5 configuration using Terraform.
• Module4: Update Terraform files and utilize the F5 AS3 declarative model to configure F5 services.
• Module5: Update Terraform files to provision ASM and secure web application using security policy stored on source control platform such as Github.
• Module6: Leverage the F5 automation tool-chain using DO (declarative onboarding) & AS3 to deploy F5 configurations "as-code."
