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.
