AWS Auto Scaling vs. F5 Distributed Cloud App Connect

1. When down time needs to be eliminated. 2. Have templates that can be used for future application deployments. 3. Templates can serve as a documentation for keep track of server configuration. 4. Handling of high usage periods like reporting season.

I thought F5 Distributed Cloud App Connect worked great to bridge the gap between our gcp environment and on prem. We were lacking in cloud funtionality for native load balancers but XC really connected the dots. We would most likely need a hybrid environment until the irules functionality improves for a few of our apps but most could be migrated over the XC.

• Smart scaling decisions
• Automatically maintain performance

• Ease of use - standing up a new site took very little time, less then an hour.
• Connecting the dots - the ease at standing up a load balancer and advertising it on CEs was simple and straight forward. Once you get familiar with the field layout it's very comparable to BIG-IP

Incentivized

• Auto scaling features are very easy to use it.
• can decrease numbers steps to configure the auto scaling functionality
• New GUI screen need to improve for auto scaling functionality

• More of a unified experience as Gartner released their latest sort of sassy trends. A lot of consumers are looking at a more unified experience and that's the sort of compilation of both management and data planes into a single things like single UI, easier management experience for the corporations.

At this point it has become too focal to our operations. An entire department could collapse if we dropped it now or in the near future. My experiences as mentioned in the previous questions tell of its gravity

We use AWS auto scaling for scaling up our cloud virtual machines to handle the increase or decrease in workload. It really helps us to satisfy the demand because it doesn't take lot of time to spin up new machines. I gave the rating 10 because it really does help you to handle the sudden spike in number of requests.

From what we have been able to test load/responsiveness is quick and when we've tested out reporting and troubleshooting modules they have pulled the correct information in quick timeframes. We haven't been able to test out any software integration with Splunk of other software on our system since we are still in early POC stages but from what we've been told we should be able to implement that in our environment

AWS auto scaling handles the sudden surge in demand very effectively and it is also very cost effective in terms of pricing compared to the other service providers I have used. That is the main reason I opted for AWS auto scaling and also it is very reliable and has less fault tolerance.

-F5 Distributed Cloud App Connect provides more granular security policies with features like DOS, WAF etc and others lack -F5 Distributed Cloud App Connect provides high performance global network and other rely on public internet and impact is latency and it gives F5 Distributed Cloud App Connect a better user experience

• Better fault tolerance.
• Almost availability of our services
• Reduced cost

Incentivized

• Inconsistent policies and procedures and now its all seem to be sorted and now requires less support
• Deployment cycle time was reduced and achieves a faster adoption of newly added contents
• Saved migration cost and more gave durability to the existing setup
