-F5 Distributed Cloud - Introduction to Deployment Models and Services
-=========================================================================
+F5 Distributed Cloud Automation - NetOps, DevOps, SecOps and Beyond
+===================================================================
 
 Welcome
 -------
 
-In this lab, attendees will be introduced to the F5 Distributed Cloud Services platform.  Attendees will create proxy services for publishing and securing
-applications that are served by both public and private endpoints. Attendees will also explore the DNS, Observability, and CDN capabilities of the platform.
+In this hands-on lab environment, attendees will explore the use of the F5 Distributed Cloud API to review, 
+build and maintain deployed configurations. During the lab, attendees will be performing API calls to automate
+various aspects of standard F5 Distributed Cloud operations from basic building blocks to automating security 
+configurations and controls. Adjacent automation tools will also be explored.
 
 Objectives:
 ----------
 
-- Gain an understanding of deploying proxy services to securely deliver an application with a public endpoint
-- Gain an understanding of viewing telemetry data and utilizing it to tune WAAP policies
-- Gain an understanding of how to deploy a site for providing connectivity to a private endpoint
-- Gain an understanding of DNS, Observability, and CDN
-- Gain an understanding of Multi-Cloud Networking (MCN) connectivity features (i.e. AWS, Azure, and Google)
+- Gain a deeper understanding of key F5 Distributed Cloud API frameworks and controls.
+- Gain an understanding of the F5 Distributed Cloud API-first framework.
+- Establish basic operational tasks for object management.
+- Explore Terraform Provider for F5 Distributed Cloud

-The next page (Introduction) will cover the lab environment, access, and lab variables. The lab will be using a shared AWS account where we have deployed the following resources:
+The next page (Introduction) will cover the lab environment, access, and lab variables. The lab will be using a 
+Windows 10 client with Postman and Terraform pre-installed to demonostatre how to automate the deployment of: 
 
-- NGINX webserver that is exposed to the Public internet ("Public Endpoint")
-- F5 Distributed Cloud site node that can be used to connect to AWS VPC (network)
-- NGINX webserver that only has a private IP address with no external access
+- F5 Distributed Cloud HTTP Health Check
+- F5 Distributed Cloud Origin Pool
+- F5 Distributed Cloud HTTP Load Balancer
+- F5 Distributed Cloud Web Application Firewall
+- F5 Distributed Cloud Service Policy
 
 During the lab exercises we will explore different methods of protecting and exposing applications/webserver
