Welcome to my dedicated space designed to help you easily learn and master F5 technologies. Whether you’re just starting with F5 or looking to sharpen your skills, this website provides the hands-on labs and practical guidance you need to get up to speed with F5 BIG-IP.

Embark on your journey to become an F5 Expert!
The labs are designed to provide immediate value, ready to use as soon as you meet the initial setup requirements.
The goal of this platform is simple: to offer practical labs that guide you through the ins and outs of F5 technologies, just like I wish I had when I first started. I’ve created this site to be a resource for everyone who wants to learn by doing, without complicated prerequisites or confusing setups.
Build your lab environment
Before diving into the labs, you’ll need to complete the Build Your F5 Lab Environment setup. This article walks you through the process of creating a foundational environment where all subsequent labs will run. Once this is complete, you’ll be able to jump straight into the labs without needing to reconfigure or troubleshoot each time.
Load the lab’s exercice file
Each lab starts with a UCS file to download and load on your VM. You don’t need to verify the configuration or correct everything you broke preivously. With this simple step, you can start any lab right away !
