Review your SSG devices setup - Azure

To review the app configuration on the SSG devices, in your BIG-IQ UI, go to Applications > Environments > Service SCaling Groups.

Click on your SSG and then go to Configuration > Devices. Here you can click on the Address of one of your devices.

Note

• Login: admin
• Password: <it’s in your config.yml file, BIGIP_PWD ATTRIBUTE>

Note

Keep in mind that because we deploy single nic BIG-IPs, all the VS will rely on the self-IP address. Therefore the virtual address we use is 0.0.0.0

Spend some time reviewing your app configuration on your SSG Devices.

Review your Azure ALB setup - Azure

In your Azure Console , go to Resource groups > <YOUR PREFIX>-azure-ssg.

Click on the Azure ALB we specified in the app settings (<YOUR PREFIX>-azure-ssg-ext-alb)

Retrieve the DNS Name tied to this ELB:

Open a new tab in your browser and go to this DNS name (https)

Your application is deployed successfuly.
