F5 Networks continuous effort to deliver additional modules and services, it had to, literally, think outside the box. F5 Networks vision of its synthesis theme (data center, hybrid and cloud offering) required a complete rethinking of how developers, operations and configuration management should cooperate. This use case describes the struggles we had to take to disrupt the company and build its synthesis offering possible. How a small team managed to get the entire system running in just 3 months by utilizing tools such as Jenkins, packer.io, docker, fig, vagrant, etc.. Focusing on configuration management (CM), provisioning tasks, product architecture and release cycles to achieve these goals.
