Ticket 07 – Verify Application Configuration Consistency Across BIG-IPs
========================================================================

Title: “Why Is My Application Not Performing the Same Across Regions?”
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ticket Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  An application owner for the app, *web-app-foo*, has observed inconsistent behavior across devices.

  They would like the configuration reviewed for any anomalies.

Context
~~~~~~~

  **Device Names:** EastRegion-bigip-01, WestRegion-bigip-01

  **Virtual Server Name:** web-app-foo

  App Servers and Ports:
      * 10.1.20.100:80
      * 10.1.20.101:80
      * 10.1.20.102:80
      * 10.1.20.201:80
      * 10.1.20.202:80

Tasks
~~~~~~~

  Use the AI Assistant and enter the following prompt:

    ``Can you check the virtual servers named 'web-app-foo' and their associated objects across all BIG-IPs in all Data Centers to verify that the configuration is the same?``

  (Tell the AI assistant yes to all datacenters if it asks you the scope of the question)
  
  Review the information returned.  Do you see any configuration differences between *EastRegion-bigip-01* and *WestRegion-bigip-01*?

  If differences are identified, validate them by navigating to: **Dashboard >> BIG-IP Device >> Device Virtual Server and Dashboard >> BIG-IP Device >> Device Pools**

  Compare the configuration of *web-app-foo* on each device:

    Identify and explain the configuration differences that could impact application behavior.

Deliverables
~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Briefly answer the following:
    
    - Provide, at least, two of the inconsistencies found by the AI agent

  Review the following for additional information and trends:

    - A list of discrepancies found for *web-app-foo*
    - An explanation of how each discrepancy could impact behavior

Hints
~~~~~

  - Pay specific attention to the pool members configured on each device.
  - The Virtual Server configuration as well

This concludes Ticket 7.
