In this chapter Max Alvarado (Technical Solutions Architect at Cisco) shows you how to install F5 Service Center App on APIC and how to integrate load balancing into ACI by configuring Virtual Servers, Server Pools, Service Graphs and the IP addresses for your F5 Big IP Load Balancer, all done through the APIC.
By leveraging F5 Service Center App on APIC and using Service Graphs, you don't need to install any device packages to have consolidated visibility, automated service-stitching and load balancing configuration from APIC. ACI uses both APIC and F5 RESTful APIs to automate the necessary configuration for both networking and load balancing services while providing visibility for VIPs, Nodes and server pools through a single pane of glass.
