BIG-IP Upgrade | Deployments¶
From: BIG-IP update and upgrade guide
F5 suggests you update or upgrade the software on your BIG-IP appliances and Virtual Editions (VEs) to optimize the security, performance, and total cost of ownership of your BIG-IP systems. At a minimum, F5 recommends that you upgrade your BIG-IP appliances to at least BIG-IP 14.1 and your BIG-IP VEs to at least BIG-IP 15.1.
Because F5 customers use a variety of configurations and tools, there are many update and upgrade scenarios. This guide is a work in progress; request the update or upgrade scenarios you want to see in this guide. Use the feedback or survey button on this page, or email AskF5 at TellAskF5@f5.com.
