CIS and ScaleN (N+1) - w/ out Auto Config-Sync
Description: This design pattern is similar to the previous design except auto config-sync is disabled, therefore multiple CIS instances will be used to configure other devices in the cluster.

Configuration tips and caveats
- Ensure no more than 3 Controllers point to a single VE (max tested)
- Configure the VE non-floating Self-IP in
--bigip-url - Since there is one Controller per BIG-IP, no need to configure a floating IP
- Configure the VE non-floating Self-IP in
- Provide a unique metadata.name for each Controller
- Provide a unique
--bigip-urlin each Deployment (each Controller manages a separate BIG-IP device) - Use the same
--bigip-partitionin all Deployments - Do not define multiple Deployment configs in a single manifest.
- If you launch multiple BIG-IP Controller instances using a single manifest, they will run on the same Pod. This means that if the Pod goes down, you lose all of your Controllers.
