How Are We Doing?

?IT impedes growth IT spends too muchor,

Deploy this Much?

But, need this?

Deploy this Much?

But, need this?

How much IT will You need ?

What if IT was On-Demand? Would that be “Cloud” ?

The on-going “IT pain”

• High cost, heterogeneous systems

• Redundant functionality

• Lack of agility to innovate

• Slow time to market

• Rising maintenance costs

• Rising regulatory and compliance costs, multiplied by:

• Heterogeneous systems

• Geographic expansion / local laws

• Falling IT Budgets

5

What

Happen

ed

?

• Separation of IT areas / buying-centers / silos preventing IT to move at the speed demanded by the business

• Focus changed from Consolidation to Automation

• Business owners and Apps Developers started to go straight to public cloud to meet agility and demand. Security and Data Sovereignty arise.

• Operations become further relevant. Shift from “what it does / how it works” to “how to use / how to consume it”.

What is ACI?

Application Oriented Policy = Operational Simplicity

Introducing: Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI)

Apps + Infrastructure

Physical + Virtual + ContainersOpen + Secure

On-Premises + Cloud

ACI directly maps the application

connectivity requirements onto the

network and services fabric

Why Networks are ComplexOverloaded Network Constructs


Network-Centric to application-centricTwo types of language

NETWORK LANGUAGE

• VLAN

• IP Address

• Subnets

• Firewalls

• Quality of Service

• Load Balancer

• Access Lists

APPLICATION LANGUAGE

• Application Tier Policy and

Dependencies

• Security Requirements

• Service Level Agreement

• Application Performance

• Compliance

• Geo Dependencies

• Etc.


Application Policy Model and Instantiation

All forwarding in the fabric is managed through the application network profile

• IP addresses are fully portable anywhere within the fabric

• Security and forwarding are fully decoupled from any physical or virtual network attributes

• Devices autonomously update the state of the network based on configured policy requirements

F5 Synthesis Overview


Impact on Data Center Architecture: Applications

MICRO-ARCHITECTURES

Each service is isolated and requires its own:• Load balancing

• Authentication / authorization

• Security

• Layer 7 Services

• May be API-based, expanding services required

API DOMINANCE

Proxies are used in emerging API-centric architectures • API versioning

• Client-based steering

• API Load balancing

• Metering & billing

• API key management

More applications needing services

F5 Device Package: Definition

APIC requires a Device Package to communicate with service devices.

A Device Package is a zip file containing two parts: Device Specification (xml): The configuration of

the APIC is represented as an object model

consisting of a large number of Managed Objects

(MOs). A Device type is defined by a tree of MOs

with a Meta Device (MDev) at the root.

DeviceScript (py): The integration between

the APIC and a Device is performed by a

DeviceScript, which maps APIC events

function calls defined in Device Script

Service Graph: DefinitionAbstract graph concept mapping to Service Graph

• Service graph is an ordered set of functions between a set of terminals e-g; Firewall Function, Load balancer Function

• A function has one or more connectors

• Network connectivity like VLAN/VNID tag is assigned to these connectors

Functions rendered on the same device

• A function within a graph may require one or more parameters

• Parameters can be scoped by an EPG or an application profile or tenant context

• Parameter values can be locked from further changes

Service Graph: “web-application”

Func: SSL offload

F5 ACI Device Package 1.1.0 is now Released!Supports ACI FCS+3 version 1.0(2m)

• vCMP support (New with 1.1.0)

• Dynamic endpoint attach and detach (New with 1.1.0)

• Supports any BIG-IP LTM physical and virtual form factor running version 11.4.1 and above

• Device package can be downloaded from downloads.f5.com at no cost

• Does not require any new module installation on the BIG-IP

• Can leverage BIG-IQ as device management

• iRules (custom defined) that reside in common partition can be called by APIC

• BIG-IP is licensed and OOB management configured prior to APIC integration

• Supports Active / Standby High Availability model per APIC logical device cluster


F5 Device Package 1.1.0 Supported Functions

Functions

• Virtual Server Layer 4 Server Load balancing

Layer 4 SLB with SSL offload

Layer 7 Server Load balancing

Layer 7 SLB with SSL offload

• Microsoft SharePoint

Parameters under Virtual Server

• Configuring Global and Tenant Self IP addresses

• Configuring Global and Tenant static routes

• Device Counters

• Server Pools

• TCP Optimizations (WAN/LAN/Mobile)

• HTTP optimization

• HTTP Security (Application protocol security)

• TCP connection multiplexing (One Connect)

• Validators and Creation of tenant OneConnectprofiles

• iRules

• Validators and Creation of tenant acceleration profiles

• SNAT Pool management

More than 80% of F5 customers use the L4 SLB / L7 SLB / MSFT SharePoint / SSL offload hence 1st release targets these use cases

Device Package 1.1.0 continue to support the same L4 – L7 service functions as 1.0.0 with additional support of vCMP and dynamic endpoint attach/detach


F5 Device Package 1.1.0: vCMP Guests Support

In release 1.1.0; in vCMPHA configuration, both vCMP guests must reside on the same vCMP host

vCMP (Virtual Clustered Multiprocessing) is F5 purposed built hypervisor, allow multiple virtual ADC instances, called vCMP guests, reside on the same vCMP host

Using vCMP guests as L4-L7 Devices when creating Logical Device Cluster

vCMP guest 1 and 2 mgmt. IP

vCMP host mgmt. IP


F5 Device Package 1.1.0: Dynamic endpoint attach/detachPool members, which consider endpoint in ACI fabric, once “attached to” OR “detach from” an EPG; APIC will send notification to BIG-IP to add or remove this pool member

Eable AttachementNotification

Internal Connector, which tied to the provider EPG, assign to the WEB servers = pool members in F5 LTM Pool

Under Graph Template, function node ADC has two logical interfaces: external and internal


F5 Device Package 1.1.0: Dynamic endpoint attach/detach

BIG-IP Pool has no pool members

vCMP host mgmt. IP under device config as well

No need to define pool members when adding configurable parameters to the service graph template


F5 Device Package 1.1.0: Dynamic endpoint attach/detach

After receiving attach notification from APIC, BIG-IP add members to pool

Same for endpoint detach

Assign provider EPG (Web) to the servers


Terminology: APIC Tenant Single Context / BIG-IP Partition

A function node identifies a set of network service functions that are required by an application

Tenant is a container for policies (filters, contracts, bridge domains and application profiles)

BIG-IP partition is equivalent to a single context ACI tenant

BIG-IP Virtual Server is equivalent to service graph function node


Device Package Feature: Referencing iRules

APIC can reference iRules that resides in BIG-IP Common partition

BIG-IP is responsible for iRules management, including creation / modification / validation


F5 supports TRUE Multiple Graph Multiple Tenancy

• Multiple Virtual Servers for different applications in the different BIG-IP partitions/APIC Tenants, sharing the same device

• Partition created by APIC inside BIG-IP is prefixed by the apic,”_” tenant-id to represent the partition in F5 (for ex : apic_5437)

• F5 demonstrate true multi-tenancy using different partitions for each tenant in APIC

• Each partition has been assigned individual route domain for L3 separation

• Virtual Servers created by APIC inside BIG-IP is prefixed by the apic,”_” tenant_id”_”graph (for ex : apic_5437_3456)

F5 is Industry Leader in Application Delivery

How can we provide full set of F5 functionality to ACI environment that is “application” focused?

F5 has an extensive library of iApps for deploying applications


What are iApps?

An iApps is an application-centric configuration template:

• User answers a few questions about deploying an application

• iApps translates answers into a set of configuration options

• iApps can touch almost all BIG-IP functionality

• iRules, profiles, monitors, security policies, and much more …

• There are many F5-provided iApps:

• HTTP, Sharepoint, Exchange, VMware View, …

• Users can build their own iApps


Using BIG-IQ to bring iApps to APIC
