F5 Distributed Cloud Network Connect is currently only starting to be spun up in our environment.

Need for professional service for initial setuo

Ingestion of logs to third party tools

F5 Distributed Cloud Network Connect is the easiest solution I have come across to provide the multi-cloud connectivity and for IP Overlap. If your infrastructure is single tenancy or single cloud, this does not buy you anything

Making our lives less complicated

February 26, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Many devices are managed, more complex designs to be created and deployed.
For the same application that is already hosted on cloud we can directly traffic to the cloud, it reduces latency and improves application performance.
We can reduce operational workload in terms of code upgrades as well as applying firewall rules and other complex stuff.

Pros

Directly connection along multiple cloud
Easy and friendly management platform
Fast to be deployed

Cons

Analytics reports
Security features

Likelihood to Recommend

The most common scenarios are when the app is hosted on the cloud and that we can cut hops for the user that can go directly to the cloud instead to connect first on our own DC first.
