AWS HA via API Documentation Suggestions

1. https://github.com/JeffGiroux/f5_terraform/tree/main/AWS/HA_via_api#byol-licensing

In the "f5_onboard.tmpl", add the "myLicense" block under the "Common" declaration (example here)

• "myLicense" should be "My_License" per https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-aws-cloudformation-v2/blob/main/examples/failover/bigip-configurations/runtime-init-conf-3nic-byol-instance01.yaml#:~:text=mgmtDhcpEnabled%3A%20false-,My_License,-%3A

2. https://github.com/JeffGiroux/f5_terraform/tree/main/AWS/HA_via_api#installation-example

• Perhaps recommend if modifying the "f5_password" variable that it must be a complex password conforming to F5 password secure restrictions. Changing the password to something like "admin" will cause DO and AS3 functions to fail.

1 is not an issue

'myLicense' is arbitrary name. It can be custom and does not need to match myLicense or My_License. As long as the license block itself is correct per API schema...

          JeffsLicense:
            class: License
            licenseType: regKey
            regKey: "{{{LICENSE_KEY}}}"

2 password...will make note of it in next readme update

@bradotlin , This note is in the docs already. Do you recommend something else?

Prerequisites

• Important: When you configure the admin password for the BIG-IP VE in the template, you cannot use the character #. Additionally, there are a number of other special characters that you should avoid using for F5 product user accounts. See K2873 for details.

1. Understood that myLicense or My_License or JeffsLicense is an arbitrary name, but you reference the F5Networks Github as an example which uses 'My_License', but then your example uses 'myLicense'. This could be confusing to some.

2. Password
   K2873 only calls out special characters NOT to use. However, using this template requires a complex password like outlined in https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K15497
