What is a F5 Load Balancer ?

0

Currently doing a migration and the one of the teams in their current architecture has an F5 Load balancer listed as part of the network. My questions are: What is a F5 Load Balancer ? What is the equivalent of an F5 Load Balancer in AWS? Is it an Application Load balancer or a Network Load balancer?

Suggest checking the below link which has the feature comparison, ALB Vs NLB Vs GWLB Vs CLB. You would select a load balancer based on your use-case. If you need Layer 4 LB (TCP, UDP, TLS) then typically NLB is used; if the use-case if Layer 7 (HTTP, HTTPS, gRPC) then ALB is used.

    Thanks for your answer but I want to know what an F5 Load balancer is. I've got the clear understanding on the different load balancers that exist in AWS.

    See more information here: https://www.f5.com/services/resources/glossary/load-balancer

    Its difficult to compare AWS LB flavors with external vendor LB because there are many features that each of the LBs support. If you are looking for a specific LB feature for AWS ELB family you can post it here.
