What is iWorkflow Virtual Edition?
iWorkflow® is a multi-tenant platform for deploying application delivery policy onto BIG-IP® devices. Only available as a virtual appliance, it accelerates the deployment of application-oriented services, simplifies architecture, and reduces exposure to operational risk.
iWorkflow Virtual Edition (VE) is a version of the iWorkflow system that runs as a virtual machine in specifically-supported hypervisors.
About iWorkflow VE compatibility with KVM hypervisor products
Each time there is a new release of iWorkflow™ Virtual Edition (VE) software, it includes support for additional hypervisor management products. The iWorkflowVirtual Edition and Supported Hypervisors Matrix on the AskF5™ website, support.f5.com, details which hypervisors are supported for each release.
About the hypervisor guest definition requirements
The KVM virtual machine guest environment for the iWorkflow™ Virtual Edition (VE), at minimum, must include:
- 2 x virtual CPUs
- 4 GB RAM Important: When you provision the amount of RAM allocated to the virtual machine, it must match the amount of reserve RAM.
- 1 x virtual network adapter
- 1 x 95 GB disk
There are also some maximum configuration limits to consider for deploying a iWorkflow VE virtual machine, such as:
- CPU reservation can be up to 100 percent of the defined virtual machine hardware. For example, if the hypervisor has a 3 GHz core speed, the reservation of a virtual machine with 2 CPUs can be only 6 GHz or less.
- To achieve optimum performance limits, all allocated RAM must be reserved and virtual disks should be deployed Thick (allocated up front).
