CirrostratusDears,
I need to develop BIG-IP next, anyone can guide me, please?
I tried to install BIG-IP next and Central Manager inside EVE-eg but it is not found, Can I install it in EVE?
I need to start with BIG-IP LTM and ASM, there is a guide for all installation steps and all labs step by step.
Thanks
MVPShort answer? No this will not work in EVE-ng
As i know, you need ESXi or KVM
Nacreousprobably yes if eve-ng support nested virtualization.
i was able to run hardware accelerated BigIP KVM VE within Linux WSL, which the WSL itself is a VM guest of Windows HyperV host.
the hardware was intel 11 gen laptop.
i see in the https://www.eve-ng.net/ that it uses kvm hardware acceleration, so there is possiblity.
this is video about nested virtualization:

AltostratusHi community, i had the same issue on EVE-NG CE, for BIGIP-Next is necessary to have qemu version 6.2 but EVE-NG free edition CE is locked from older until 6.0 qemu version.
My solution was run BIGIP-Next over cockpit (its a GUI tool to administering linux servers and kvm virtualization "super easy to install and use it"), a was trying a couple of instance and Central Manager, all works fine.
In addition, if you wanna interconect instances between Cockpit and EVE-NG you can do it with network interfaces without problems.
So i definetly recommend to use Cockpit for lab purposes.
MVPMaybe use proxmox that is popular now that people are running away from Vmware 😄
Create BIG-IP Next Instance locally on Proxmox (f5.com)
