Lab with F5OS

Helo everyone.
I would like to know if it is possible to make a lab with F5SO? If so, how can I do it? Download ISO or ova/vmdk disk?

    Hi Antonio,

    F5OS is the platform layer for F5 rSeries appliances (F5OS-A) and VELOS chassis (F5OS-C). It is not a standalone virtual appliance like BIG-IP VE. There is no supported method to run F5OS as a VM on your own hardware or in a cloud environment. F5OS is not available as OVA, VMDK, or QCOW2 for general virtualization.
