F5 UDF Environment Access - CourseΒΆ
F5 has an internal Universal Development Framework (UDF) with courses containing solutions. The benefit of utilizing UDF courses with blueprints is access to cloud accounts (AWS), clean-up, and cost. It also provides a consistent experience for attendees, with no dependencies installed on a client computer.
A jumphost comes configured with instances, packages, and software within this course, making solutions run easier.
The course for this project is called F5 Digital Engagement Center
