For IT leaders
What IT leaders need to know before assigning this course
When BIG-IP traffic objects are configured inconsistently, application delivery teams can create availability risk, sticky-session issues, and avoidable escalation during production changes. IT Directors can assign this 2 hour, 19 minute beginner F5 course to network engineers, system administrators, DevOps professionals, and Team Leads responsible for BIG-IP virtual servers, pools, health monitoring, and application load balancing.
The course is a practical fit for teams that already operate BIG-IP or are onboarding staff into F5 data plane administration. It focuses on health monitors, persistence profiles, profiles, and pools — the procedural skills teams need before modifying production traffic behavior. For change management, it helps standardize how IT practitioners evaluate pool member health, apply persistence, and manage traffic profiles before planned changes.
CBT Nuggets Playlists can help Training Managers assign this course as part of an F5 onboarding path, while Team Reporting helps IT leaders verify completion and track readiness; Practice Exams and Virtual Labs can further support certification preparation and hands-on reinforcement where available.
