Summary

Pulumi has expanded its ecosystem by introducing the F5 BIG-IP provider, which integrates Cloud Native Infrastructure as Code capabilities with F5 BIG-IP devices using familiar programming languages and a consistent programming model. This integration caters to customer demands for managing both on-premises and cloud workloads effectively. The provider allows users to perform advanced traffic management tasks, such as creating load balancers for backend HTTP servers and managing iRules, which enable the manipulation of request and response data and dynamic traffic direction based on application requirements. The provider also supports the dynamic creation of iRules, such as redirecting users to localized versions of websites based on language preferences. With this tool, developers can manage BIG-IP systems across multiple platforms, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, or in on-premises data centers, thus bringing modern development practices to BIG-IP-powered applications.
