AppViewX allows users to create templates that are built on top of F5 configurations to create a VIP or a Wide IP. Users can select templates and fill in the form details after which AppViewX takes care of the implementation process, bringing in a high level of automation while simultaneously decreasing manual intervention. Users can also create DNS entries and generate Free IPs with a single click through integrations with DNS management systems and IPAM systems
