Product Overview F5 Distributed Cloud Secure Multicloud Networking: Easily connect modern application clusters and services across disparate cloud and edge sites into a single network with a SaaS-based control plane. Secure Multicloud Networking includes integrated native layer 3 network connectivity provisioning, and a proxy-based architecture that enables layer 7 service networking as well as the advertisement of applications and APIs across different clouds without needing to provision underlying network infrastructures. The platform serves as an ingress/egress controller for Kubernetes clusters, simplifying application deployments across distributed cloud and edge sites. Use Cases Distributed App Security: F5 Distributed Cloud Web App and API Protection (WAAP) offers market-leading WAF capabilities, bot mitigation, multi-layered DDoS protection, and robust API discovery and security. Enforce consistent security policies to protect apps and APIs in any cloud, on-premises or remote edge site. App-to-App Connectivity: F5 Distributed Cloud App Connect creates a service network to easily connect application clusters, APIs, and legacy applications across clouds, data centers, and edge locations. With App Connect, enterprises can easily discover and connect applications directly while maintaining resiliency for applications spread across distributed environments, allowing communication only between discovered apps instead of across the entire network. Secure Network Fabric: F5 Distributed Cloud Network Connect enables connectivity across multiple environments with consistent connectivity, segmentation, and security controls to create a seamless layer 3 network. Network Connect offers secure multicloud transit capabilities that extends hybrid networks to any cloud, with consistent networking and security policies. Enable NetOps teams to maintain control over the network without additional overhead via seamless orchestration and observability.
