BIG-IP Licensing solution at scale #16

Open memes opened 3 years ago

memes commented 3 years ago

As a deployer of BIG-IP through SCA, I need options to manage BYOL licenses on GCP at scale and in environments where the BIG-IP cannot directly reach F5's licensing server.

we can use similar logic to the BYOL I did for azure.

  url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mikej81/f5-bigip-hardening-DO/master/dist/terraform/latest/${var.licenses["license1"] != "" ? "byol" : "payg"}_cluster.json"
}

Yuck! :)

This issue is about license management at scale; airgapped deployments, ELA, etc. Assigning license keys on a VM by VM basis is a solved problem and will be part of the revamped do-builder module.
