    If by context you mean the ability to allocate resources like CPU, memory and bandwidth as well as admin functions, then I think the answer is closer to "kind of" than an outright yes. With LTM you can:

     

     

    - isolate layer 4 subnets (even overlapping ones) using routing domains

     

    - apply rate classes to a virtual server to limit bandwidth consumption

     

    - restrict administration access to one set of vertical configuration objects using administrative partitions

     

     

    However, in current LTM versions, you cannot however allocate CPU and/or memory to a set of configuration objects.
