Which cookie persistence method requires the fewest configuration changes on the web servers to be implemented correctly?
The 'insert' method for cookie persistence requires no configuration changes on the web servers as the cookie is inserted by the load balancer itself. This ensures the least amount of work is needed from the web server side, aligning with the requirement for the fewest configuration changes.
going by this extract "For the HTTP Cookie Rewrite method to succeed, a blank cookie must come from the web server for the BIG-IP system to rewrite." from the link below, I'm tempted to choose answer "B". https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K83419154
question is asking "fewest configuration". Cookie rewrite requires a blank cookie from the web server while insert requires nothing. Answer should be insert.
Question contains confusing tweak i.e. "fewest configurations" required means something little to be done on pool members, So with Insert mode LTM itself insert cookies & do all things, no configurations needed on pool members side. But here expected fewest configuration which can be possible with "Rewrite" in order put blank cookie in 1st users response and LTM has to rewrite. According to me if Q contains no configurations on Web servers then insert would an Answer but Q is fewest config then answer should be rewrite
insert doesn't require anything from server
I think B The HTTP Cookie Rewrite method requires you to set up the cookie created by the server. For the HTTP Cookie Rewrite method to succeed, a blank cookie must come from the web server for the BIG-IP system to rewrite. With Apache variants, you can add the cookie to every web page header by adding the following entry to the httpd.conf file: https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K83419154
