Introducing the Hybrid Cloud Application

Architecture

Welcome to the Hybrid Cloud Application Architecture guide for F5 and

VMware® vCloud™ systems. This guide has been prepared as an

illustration of an architecture that can be adapted to suit the needs of your

particular application. Using F5, VMware, and other freely available

components, we have prepared an example infrastructure for a retail

e-commerce application. In this guide, F5 BIG-IP® products are used in

conjunction with VMware vCloud Director to achieve the cloud bursting

action, scaling out and scaling back in of an application delivered using a

hybrid cloud computing approach.

For a complete list of hardware, software, and infrastructure components

used in this implementation, see

Hardware, software and infrastructure

components, on page 4

For more information on the F5 products described in this guide, see

This guide is broken up into the following main sections:

• Configuring the infrastructure, on page 7

• Configuring the BIG-IP LTM, on page 12

• Configuring the WAN emulator, on page 31

• Configuring vFabric SQLFire, on page 33

• Configuring the BIG-IP GTM, on page 36

• Uploading your application as a vApp to the public cloud, on page 39

• Appendix A: Orchestration, on page 40

Implementation notes

Applications that work best with a hybrid cloud application architecture are

multi-tiered applications; where the application components can be scaled

based on one or more key metrics. In our example we selected a Java

application serviced by an Apache Tomcat server, where the web and

application tiers are collapsed into a single layer, connected to a database

with in-built caching and replication capabilities.

The components we selected allow for scaling the application components

together, caching shared application data on each node and replicating

dynamic data to and from each site. We structured the application and

database tables to be compatible with asynchronous replication. BIG-IP

Local Traffic Manager™ (LTM), BIG-IP LTM VE (Virtual Edition) and

BIG-IP Global Traffic Manager™ (GTM) comprise the application delivery
