Bug ID 899321: BIG-IQ allows you to create a service scaling group (SSG) for AWS with an invalid name

Last Modified: Jul 12, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IQ Applications(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
7.1.0, 7.1.0.1, 7.1.0.2, 7.1.0.3, 7.1.6, 7.1.6.1, 7.1.7, 7.1.7.1, 7.1.7.2, 7.1.8, 7.1.8.1, 7.1.8.2, 7.1.8.3, 7.1.8.4, 7.1.8.5, 7.1.9, 7.1.9.7, 7.1.9.8, 7.1.9.9

Opened: Apr 15, 2020

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

If you create an SSG for AWS and specify an invalid name (for example you could include a period in the name), BIG-IQ successfully creates the SSG, but no devices are deployed in AWS.

Impact

BIG-IQ creates the SSG, but no devices deploy and no scale-outs occur. For example, you could create an SSG with a name like my.aws.ssg and creation will succeed but scaleout will fail.

Conditions

Create an SSG with a name that does not match the regex [a-zA-Z][-a-zA-Z0-9]*|arn:[-a-zA-Z0-9:/._+]*

Workaround

Avoid using special characters in the SSG name. If you have already created an SSG with an invalid name, delete the SSG and create a new one with a valid name.

Fix Information

None
