F5OS Tenants TMOS are multiple blades required

    No just one blade is needed but if you provision more than one F5 module, you will need much more than 2 CPU.

As an Update a closer look further down in that document seems to indicate this '2 slots' may be refering to vCPU as I suspected. The table "Tenant sizing" lists T1 as minimum 1 vCPU and T2,ALL,T4 with 2 vCPU and Max instance per blade matching the expectation that both vCPU are on the same blade.

In other words the:
1vCPU w/ 22 max per blade
2vCPU w/ 11 max per blade
Makes me strongly think that there should be no requirement to have '2 blades'.
