Support Priority Group Activation on pool using F5 BigIP Ingress controller

[wheestermans31]

Now we always create a pool with two members using the round-robbin method. Load is then balanced over the two members.

What I like to have is that we have two members and one is active and second is standby. Our F5 support team indicates to use the 'Priority Group Activation' on the pool. Set for example to 1. And then one of the members should have 1.

How can I handle this with Ingress annotations?

@wheestermans31 clan can you provide me with your ltm pool configuration from BIG-IP. I am checking if 'Priority Group Activation' is available in AS3. If not it will need to be added to AS3 first. I can help with that process.

I don't have BIG-IP detailed knowledge, I'm a user of it for integration k8s. The real BIG-IP work is done by our network team. What you mean with 'ltm pool configuration from BIG-IP'? I suppose this is some dump of the BIG-IP config itself and not the k8s ingress controller part?

@dstokesf5 have you seen any AS3 requests for Priority Group Activation' for the pool members?

[dstokesf5]

AS3 exposes the priority-group property of ltm pool member objects through the priorityGroup property of an AS3 pool member: https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/extensions/f5-appsvcs-extension/latest/refguide/schema-reference.html#pool-member

@wheestermans31 can we setup a meeting with yourself and network team to get this issue resolved using a AS3 configmap?

[wheestermans31]

I will come back with proposal date. This is something to be done on the the BIGIP itself or can be done via kubernetes ingress controller?
