A workflow provisions BIG-IP instances in Azure. The workflow uses a PowerShell script to create the VM and then configure it. If the configuration step fails, the workflow should remove the VM to avoid orphaned resources. Which error handling mechanism is most appropriate?

Use Azure Automation to run a separate runbook that deletes the VM on a schedule.

Use a try/catch block in PowerShell to catch the error and call Remove-AzVM.

Use Azure Policy to automatically delete any VM that is not configured within 10 minutes.

Log the error and continue the workflow without deleting the VM.

A workflow provisions BIG-IP instances in AWS. The workflow creates an EC2 instance, assigns an Elastic IP, and then runs an Ansible playbook to configure the BIG-IP. The team needs to ensure that if the Ansible playbook fails, the workflow cleans up all AWS resources. However, the team also wants to preserve the EC2 instance for troubleshooting if the failure is due to a configuration error, not an infrastructure issue. Which rollback strategy best meets these requirements?

Always keep the EC2 instance and Elastic IP on any Ansible failure for manual inspection.

On Ansible failure, check the error type: if it is a network/connectivity error, terminate the instance; if it is a BIG-IP config error, keep the instance and release the Elastic IP.

Always terminate the EC2 instance and release the Elastic IP on any Ansible failure.

On Ansible failure, release the Elastic IP but keep the EC2 instance running without a public IP.

A workflow is being created to provision BIG-IP instances in Azure. After the VM is created, the workflow must configure the BIG-IP's management IP, default route, and NTP settings. The team wants to avoid manual SSH sessions. Which approach should be used to automate the initial configuration?

Require an administrator to SSH into the BIG-IP and configure the settings manually.

Use Azure Policy to enforce the network settings on the BIG-IP.

Use the Azure VM Custom Script Extension to run a shell script that applies the network settings.

Configure the settings in the ARM template's VM properties.

Which of the following is typically automated as part of F5 instance configuration in a provisioning workflow?

Which event would most likely initiate a dynamic provisioning workflow for an F5 instance?

A security alert indicating a potential breach on the existing F5 instance

An update to the F5 software version
