A10 Networks ACOS aXAPI v3

The ACOS aXAPI v3 is the RESTful HTTPS configuration and operational control plane for every A10 Thunder device — physical, virtual (vThunder), or containerized. It covers the full ACOS object model: Server Load Balancing (virtual servers, real servers, service groups, health monitors, SSL templates, aFleX scripts), GSLB, DDoS protection objects, CGNAT pools, system configuration, networking, routing, partitions, and operational/statistics resources. Authentication is session-based (POST /axapi/v3/auth returns a signature for the `Authorization: A10 ` header). The aXAPI is the substrate under the Terraform provider, the Ansible collections, the Kubernetes Connector, and the Python acos-client.
