Attention

Background¶
DemoBrews is a company that specializing in selling craft beers. The company has a fledgling e-commerce business to go along with their existing stores. The customer’s dev team has built and maintains a web application. The app is deployed in an expensive on-premise data center (ie. the UDF deployment). Due to ongoing operational expenses the company would like to move the application “to the cloud”.
The customer has multiple architectural goals:
Due to privacy concerns, the database must remain on-prem.
Due the agile nature of the app, the architecture design must allow for new services to be easily added and independently scaled.
The dev team would prefer to not be locked into a single cloud service provider (CSP).
Over the course of this lab, we will help the customer meet these design goals with the F5 Distributed Cloud platform.
