   A company runs a microservices application with many services, each requiring load balancing and health checks. They are considering using BIG-IP to manage this. They want to minimize the operational overhead of manually creating a virtual server and pool for each service. Which approach is most efficient?

   • AManually configure each virtual server and pool using the web UI.
   • BCreate a single virtual server that routes to all services based on the URL path.
   • CUse iRules to dynamically create pools and virtual servers for each service.
   • DUse AS3 to declaratively define all application services and deploy them via automation.

   What is the purpose of a failover mechanism in an ADC high-availability configuration?

   • ATo encrypt all traffic passing through the ADC
   • BTo increase the processing speed of the primary ADC

   A company's web application serves static content (images, CSS, JavaScript) and dynamic content. Users report slow page loads, especially for first-time visits. The servers are CPU-bound due to TLS encryption and repeated requests for the same static assets. Which combination of BIG-IP features would most directly reduce server CPU load and improve response times?

   • AConfigure a persistence profile to keep users on the same server.
   • BEnable SSL offloading and caching of static content on the BIG-IP.
   • CEnable TCP multiplexing and increase the connection limit on the servers.
   • DEnable compression and increase the number of servers in the pool.

   A company runs a web application on three identical servers behind an F5 BIG-IP. During peak hours, one server becomes overloaded while the other two are underutilized. The application uses sticky sessions. Which BIG-IP feature should the administrator configure to distribute traffic more evenly while preserving session persistence?

   • AEnable a load-balancing method such as least connections, and configure a persistence profile for session stickiness.
   • BDisable sticky sessions and use round-robin load balancing to distribute requests evenly.
   • CConfigure a health monitor to mark the overloaded server down so traffic is sent to the other servers.
   • DAdd a fourth server and configure priority group activation to handle peak traffic.
