v5.1.0.0
In addition to minor enhancements and fixes, this release contains the following:
-
The Cluster, Failover-API template now includes N-NIC option
The F5 ARM template for HA Cluster (Active/Standby) now includes the option of launching with additional NICs. This is extremely useful when the BIG-IP VE requires more than 3 network interfaces.
Additionally, this template now moves Azure IP Configurations on failover that match a Self IP address in a floating traffic group. -
Option of using SSH public key for authentication
All of our ARM templates now give you the option of using a password or SSH public key for authentication, providing greater deployment flexibility and security. -
All templates with BIG-IQ licensing now support using a ELA/subscription pool
The templates now support BIG-IQ licensing using an ELA (Enterprise Licensing Agreement)/subscription pool, which enables self-licensing of BIG-IP virtual editions (VEs). This reduces time and effort and enables the quick delivery of application and security services. -
Templates now allow use of custom BIG-IP image
The templates now support using a custom BIG-IP image if necessary. You simply add the URL to the VHD in Azure storage or the full resource ID to an existing Microsoft.Compute image resource, and the custom BIG-IP image launches. This allows greater flexibility for your cloud deployments.
