F5 Environment Generator¶
The F5 environment generator is a Python utility.
It creates a new service provider driver and adds it to the Neutron LBaaS configuration file (/etc/neutron/neutron_lbaas.conf
).
You can use the F5 environment generator with Differentiated Service Environments and Capacity-based Scale out.
Usage¶
To create a new service environment, run the command below on your Neutron controller.
add_f5agent_environment <env_name>
Tip
The environment name must be eight (8) characters or less.
Next Steps¶
You can use your new service environment to run multiple f5-openstack-agent
instances on the same host.
See the Differentiated Service Environments documentation for more information.
See Capacity-Based Scale Out to learn about agent redundancy and scale out for differentiated service environments.
