A while ago I was asked if it would be possible to apply some general rate limiting in HAProxy and the WAF, in order to help prevent DOS-style attacks on a customer's servers...
Email notifications are a great way of alerting you to any changes or issues within your load balancer or high availability cluster...
It's a fair question, right? Let's take away the strain of SSL terminations from our application servers and let the load balancers deal with it. After all, why would we want to bog down our nifty application with network-level considerations?..
The only real reason for separate network ports is physical redundancy. Because the other primary reason (security segregation) can be easily implemented using VLANs...
Many things in tech are over-complicated for no reason, and iRules are a prime example of that...
We love complex rules. Although, we have seen some pretty scary config files...
A WAF isn't a magic bullet, but, as part of a defense in depth strategy, a properly configured WAF should catch and stop common, everyday attacks...
All Secure Web Gateways require client IP transparency in order to implement any proper kind of security and authentication. Which can be a real pain if you have a load balancer in the middle...
