ADC 4.1 Course
Instructs Application Engineers, Development Operations, and Architects on implementing common Application Delivery Control scenarios for A10 ACOS deployments in data center environments.
Objectives
From a three-device ACOS cluster pre-configured with a Layer 2-3 base environment, students deploy these system attributes:
- Layer 4 and 7 virtual servers with associated configuration elements
- Compression, caching, and connection reuse
- Global server load balancing
Students also use device tools that monitor, diagnose, and restore these attributes.
