F5 work was any troubleshooting of issues, the repair of the same, plus all changes to the VIPs, pools, and nodes which any customer requested. These changes involved ensuring the proper IP addresses, MACs, as well as loading the proper security certificates.
• Documentation and security are always part of our duties as security is of utmost importance and documentation must always be updated with any change that occurs.
