F5 Automation · Built for Enterprise NetOps

End the F5 Bottleneck.
Ship Apps Faster.

Fully automated F5 BIG-IP upgrades with zero-window risk. App teams self-serve virtual servers, pools, and SSL configs directly from ServiceNow — no NetOps ticket, no waiting, no manual touch.

The Cost of Manual

F5 Operations Are Stuck in the Past.

  • ✗ Upgrades take hours per device — copy-paste CLI, no automated rollback
  • ✗ App teams wait weeks for every VIP, pool, or SSL change
  • ✗ Runbook lives in engineer heads — no version control, no audit trail
  • ✗ Config drift accumulates as changes bypass automation straight to CLI
What MutexOps Does

Two Pipelines. One Platform.

Replace the manual F5 runbook and the NetOps ticket queue with two production-grade automation pipelines built on a shared Python core.

// 01 — UPGRADE PIPELINE

Hands-Free BIG-IP Upgrades

A Python-driven upgrade engine over iControl REST. Pre-flight to post-check, hands-free, every time.

  • Pre-flight gate: HA sync, disk, RAM, pool health, cert expiry
  • Encrypted UCS backup before any image transfer
  • Install to alternate volume — running volume untouched
  • Automatic rollback on failed health check or timeout
  • Post-upgrade verification: version, daemons, HA, VIPs
  • Structured JSON logs to Splunk / Elastic
// 02 — ZERO TOUCH CONFIG

Self-Service from ServiceNow

App teams fill a ServiceNow catalog form. Python translates it to AS3 and deploys directly to BIG-IP.

  • ServiceNow catalog item — no networking knowledge required
  • Flow Designer approval routing with HMAC-signed webhook
  • Pydantic validation rejects invalid requests pre-deploy
  • Idempotent AS3 declarations — safe to re-run
  • RITM auto-closes with VIP, pool, SSL summary
  • Every declaration committed to Git for full audit history
How It Works

From Catalog Form to Deployed VIP — In Minutes.

No ticket queues, no manual handoffs, no NetOps in the critical path for routine work.

FAQ

Common Questions.

Yes. The engine upgrades the standby unit first, verifies health, then fails over and upgrades the original active. Pre-flight blocks the upgrade if HA sync state isn't "In Sync" — no partial-state upgrades.

The RollbackManager reboots back to the previously active boot volume — no re-installation needed because we always install to the alternate volume. If volume rollback fails, UCS restore fires as a last resort.

The target BIG-IP field is a CMDB reference — app teams pick from devices their team is pre-authorized for. The webhook re-validates team-to-device authorization before building any AS3 declaration.

Self-hosted. The Python engine runs in your VPC, talks to your BIG-IPs over your existing management network, and reads BIG-IP credentials from your Vault. No outbound dependency on MutexOps infrastructure.

The upgrade engine supports BIG-IP across currently supported major versions. The zero touch pipeline requires AS3 on a recent release. ServiceNow Flow Designer is required for the webhook integration; the REST API integration works on any modern ServiceNow release.
