Please follow the instructions provided by the instructor to start your lab and access your jump host.

This class covers the following topics:

• Update master.tf file to include Application Objects like Virtual Server, Pool, nodes etc.

1. Update master file to include http monitoring:

   resource "bigip_ltm_monitor" "monitor" {
           name = "/Common/terraform_monitor"
           parent = "/Common/http"
           send = "GET /some/path\r\n"
           timeout = "999"
           interval = "999"
   }
   

2. Update master file to include Server Pool:

   resource "bigip_ltm_pool"  "pool" {
           name = "/Common/terraform-pool"
           load_balancing_mode = "round-robin"
           monitors = ["/Common/terraform_monitor"]
           allow_snat = "yes"
           allow_nat = "yes"
   }
   

3. Update master file to Attach Node or include member in Pool:

   resource "bigip_ltm_pool_attachment" "attach_node" {
           pool = "/Common/terraform-pool"
           node = "/Common/10.1.20.252:80"
           depends_on = ["bigip_ltm_pool.pool"]
   }
   

4. Update master file to Create a Virtual Server using Pool:

   resource "bigip_ltm_virtual_server" "http" {
           pool = "/Common/terraform-pool"
           name = "/Common/terraform_vs_http"
           destination = "10.1.10.100"
           port = 80
           source_address_translation = "automap"
           depends_on = ["bigip_ltm_pool.pool"]
   }
