How To: Deploy a service to a BIG-IP Instance using CM APIs¶

After a Service is created in the Central Manager, you can deploy the service to multiple BIG-IP Next instances using the GUI or APIs. The configuration will be deployed to all the selected BIG-IP Next instances.

Note: Before deploying the service, if you want to change any network configuration for a specific instance, refer to the steps here, How to: Configure Instance Specific Network Settings using CM APIs

To deploy a service to multiple instances:

Send a POST request to the /v1/spaces/default/security/inspection-services/{id}/deployment endpoint.

POST //{{CM}}/api/v1/spaces/default/security/inspection-services/{id}/deployment

Note: The inspectionService_ID is generated in response to request to create a service.

For the API body, use the following example, substituting appropriate instance IDs of the instances to which you want to deploy the service.

{

    "deploy-instances":[

        "instance-id1",

        "instance-id2",

        "instance-id3"

    ],

    "undeploy-instances":[

        "instance-id1",

        "instance-id2",

        "instance-id3"

    ]
}

Notes:

The L1 network must be created as part of BIG-IP Onboarding else the deployment will fail.
If any networks (VRFs) are not available on the instance, the networks are auto generated at the time of deployment based on the network requirements.
