F5 VE instance deployment in Azure (BYOD vs PAYG)

Hi,

As part of new deployment - we are planning to go with new F5 instances in Azure. Please let me know which is the best approach to take F5 VE instances from Azure - BYOD or PAYG? Also please share what all the features provided in BYOD & PAYG?

  • BYOL and PAYG are simply licensing methods. BYOL requires that you have a license procured from F5, and PAYG provides a licensed instance that is billed as part of the instance. Please consult your F5 account team for further information.
