F5 LTM Stable Release

Hi, I am trying to inquire what is the current f5 stable release at the moment? I am looking on their site and I do not see were they recommend as a stable release like Cisco has a Safe Harbor recommended.

  • 11.5.3 Hotfix 2 is the latest "Stability" release. Starting in v12.x+ X.1 versions will be considered the "Stability" relases. So v12.0 is out, but not considered "Stability" until 12.1.

      starting in v12 as well there will no longer be minor versions higher than .1. Everything will be X.0 or X.1. https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/5000/900/sol5903.html

  • Hello,

     

    An F5 representative advised me 11.5.3HF2 : * 11.5.3 because its end of software development date is 8 april 2019 and its end of technical support date is 8 april 2020 : it has the farthest support date. (more info sol5903) * HF2 : because it's the latest hotfix available today

     

    Hope it'll help,

     

    regards

     

  • i agree, if i can guide a client i will tell them to go for 11.5.3 unless they require something from 11.6 or 12.0.
