4. Internal Layered SSL Orchestrator Architecture

In this lab, you will learn how to implement an internal layered SSL Orchestrator architecture to conditionally steer traffic to various SSLO topologies. This 2-tiered architecture enables support for more complex deployment scenarios, while also helping to simplify the SSL Orchestrator configuration.

Note

This methodology is documented in the following Github repository: f5devcentral/sslo-script-tools/internal-layered-architecture.

It consists of a set of iRules which reduce deployment complexity by treating SSL Orchestrator topologies as functions.
