A Short Story on “How I saved my weekend”

After a network re-design, I started realizing that the we need to change the “vlan” of all the virtual servers we created in two F5 BigIP LTM Devices…. Sadly, we have 311 Virtual Servers in each F5 and we have two devices in scope. So, the count bumped to 622… 3 clicks per virtual server and am going click 1866 times???

No... Never…

Lazy minds always find shortcuts and I started thinking about the leadership direction, automate as much you can…

Finally, after couple sighs, I started dusting my Python skills and wrote couple of lines of code to finish my playbook, named it as ‘knock-it-down.yml’ …

Yes, it took only 45-50 mins for me to save 1866 clicks and my plans during the weekend…

It was painful to accept we lost the game, but there was a smile in my face and I was trying to hide it…
