NimbostratusHello Amine_Kadimi , Thank you for replying back.
Sorry I literally come from only a firewall world and recently started my F5 journey.
So, that basically means there is no such thing as General hotfix for all the F5 users. Hotfix is only provided in case of vulnerability or for specific problems. Generally we do a major update like you said from 16.x to 17.x or in case of general patch do a minor update from 16.1.4.2 to 16.1.4.3.
One last thing is it a good idea to stay on the latest version. For example if I am in 16.1.4.1 is it best to stay on 16.1.4.3 to the latest ? Is this recommended by F5 ?
