I am using F5 BIG-IP for various modules such as LTM (Local Traffic Manager), ASM (Advanced Security Manager), ABM (Application Policy Manager), and DNS. It helps in achieving scalability and high availability for applications, load balancing traffic, protecting applications from outside attacks, application security management, and DNS solutions for data center communication.
We use it for data center (DC) operations. We have a three-tier, eight-site DNS configuration: one DC and two "DR." It's used for the failover of our applications and resolving hosts for applications.
The customer had two data centers, one northbound and one southbound. So both are physically in different locations. The customer's requirement was to load balance the traffic originating from any source. The primary data center should respond to every query. In the event of a disaster, server unavailability, or any other issues, the traffic should automatically redirect to the alternate data center. This sums up the scenario.
If the client wants to clarify that they are using the trusted packet and trusted browsing, they can use the DNS load balancing. F5 can provide some DNS service solutions. The client forwards the traffic, and the DNS is verified whether it can be trusted. If it's suspicious or malicious, it will be declined. If the traffic is observed to be trusted, valid, or legitimate, then it can pass.

F5 can completely close all issues in infrastructure about application delivery control because these solutions have all the instruments to close these issues. Speaking about F5 BIG-IP DNS Global Traffic Manager, at a worldwide level, we get the opportunity to secure DNS records. Also, we have the opportunity to secure if customers have opted into DNS in the local area. You can make all DNS requests through only F5 BIG-IP DNS. Also, you can do any manipulation or modification with this traffic. In just one year, I can't know what F5 could do because there are a lot of things and a lot of instruments to push any task, especially because of the killer feature in F5 firewall. It also has a scripting language in which you can do whatever you want. If you know the TECO language, it's based on the TECO language. You can write, so we use something else to work with traffic, like an SAP application with APM and DNS, with which you can create some custom rules. So, if some feature doesn't have something in advance, you can create that feature. I think it's some of the best features of the solution.

The solution is used for balancing the load. For example, if someone calls the X-ray department, we use the solution to transfer the calls to different servers. This way, we are not putting a load on one specific server all the time. F5 BIG-IP DNS balances the load. For example, there are a hundred calls and I have ten servers, so every server will receive 10 calls instead of one server receiving all the calls.

We are a solution provider and F5 DNS Delivery is one of the products that we implement for our customers. This product is normally deployed for high application availability. That means we use the local traffic manager module the most. The DNS module is used for global server load-balancing and fail-over across data centers.
F5® BIG-IP® DNS distributes DNS and user application requests based on business policies, data center and cloud service conditions, user location, and application performance. BIG-IP DNS is commonly configured as a full proxy to provide global server load balancing (GSLB) for applications and DNS across architectures, and across the globe.The BIG-IP platform delivers DNS services with visibility, reporting, and analysis; scales and secures DNS responses geographically to survive increased...
