George Watkins, Jeff Browning and some of our other neighbors on the F5 team have been doing some exciting work with using Chef to configure Local Traffic Manager (LTM) products via the iControl API. In a Tech Tip published earlier today, George walks a new user through the process of using Chef to auto-populate an LTM with all the information it needs to load-balance new web servers as they are brought online.
Opscode and F5 are interested in hearing feedback to drive future enhancements of this initial integration work. If you are an F5 customer or prospect with an opinion, please contact us!
