F5 envisions a world where an organization’s application portfolio adapts to any changing environment.
- It automates redundant processes for greater efficiencies.
- It expands and contracts based on performance needs.
- It protects itself, securing points of vulnerability.
- And by mining and analyzing data, it gets smarter, becomes self-healing, and evolves even more quickly.
F5 offers a robust toolchain to enable businesses to automate their multi-cloud application security and delivery deployments using simple scripting and integrations with common automation tools such as Ansible and Terraform. Automation not only helps save time by eliminating redundant and manual processes, but also reduces errors and keeps the overall application security and delivery infrastructure more robust by providing guardrails around the configurations that can get provisioned. In addition, automation can decrease deployment times from weeks or months to minutes, enabling IT to keep pace with the speed of the business.
