Course Overview
The Developing iRules for BIG-IP v15 course by F5 is designed for network professionals seeking to master the iRules application programming interface for customizing application delivery on the BIG-IP platform. While not tied to a single certification exam, this training supports preparation for the F5 Certified Administrator, BIG-IP (F5-CA, BIG-IP) credential, which validates core competencies in BIG-IP administration and traffic management. Targeted at system administrators, network administrators, and application developers, the course equips learners with skills to programmatically manage traffic flow using iRules. With F5 technologies deployed in over 8,000 enterprise organizations globally, including 48 of the Fortune 50, expertise in iRules development is increasingly critical for securing and optimizing application delivery in complex network environments.
Students engage with key F5 technologies including BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM), Traffic Management Operating System (TMOS), iRules, data groups, session tables, and stream profiles. The course features hands-on labs conducted in an F5-hosted lab environment where students write, deploy, and troubleshoot iRules using real-world scenarios. Learners configure control structures for conditional branching and looping, manipulate HTTP headers and cookies, implement universal persistence, and use stream profiles to modify payload content. A key project involves developing iRules to mitigate common HTTP attacks such as path traversal and cross-site request forgery (CSRF), using Tcl parsing commands and iRule functions like HTTP::header and URI::path to secure web applications and enforce HTTP security policies.
This training enhances career readiness for roles such as Application Delivery Engineer and Infrastructure Architect, with F5 Certified BIG-IP Administrators earning average salaries between $77,503 and $108,682 annually, according to industry data. Koenig Solutions offers this official F5 course with a Guaranteed-to-Run schedule and access to F5’s authorized curriculum, ensuring learners gain hands-on experience with current v15 features.
