Tasks¶
- Login as paula. Navigate to the
airport_security
Application.
This Application is composed of 3 Application Services:
security_site16_boston
: Application Service serving a security app located in Boston.security2_site18_seattle
: Application Service serving a the same security app but located in Seattle.security_fqdn
: This the Wide-IP service serving the previous Application Services located in Boston and Seattle. The FQDN for this Wide-IP is airports.example.com.
Note
A wide IP maps a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) to one or more pools of virtual servers that host the content of a domain.
- Let’s deploy a 3rd Application Service serving a the same security app also located in Seattle as there is more demand in traffic in this part of the world. Click Create to create an Application Service:
