GENERATING CONFIGURATION TEMPLATES FOR APPLICATION DELIVERY CONTROL

Abstract:

Described embodiments provide systems and methods for generating configuration templates. A configuration instance for an application delivery controller can be identified and a plurality of configuration objects. Each configuration object can include a set of instructions for managing network traffic between a plurality of clients and a plurality of servers. A subset of configuration objects can be selected from the plurality of configuration objects. Instance-specific instructions can be removed from each configuration object of the subset. A configuration graph can be generated for each application of the plurality of applications identified in the subset. A match of at least a portion of the configuration graph and a configuration pattern of a plurality of configuration patterns can be identified. A configuration template can be generated including a set of parameters to configure a second application delivery controller to generate instructions for managing network traffic for applications identified in the subset.
