Requirement for BIG-IQ VM Deployment in AWS

Can anyone please suggest on below.

 

We have a requirement to deploy a BIG-IQ VM in the AWS cloud to manage our existing LTM, GTM, and WAF devices. We are planning to manage approximately 100 F5 devices using BIG-IQ.

Could you please share the recommended system requirements (RAM and disk space) for the BIG-IQ instance to support this scale? and other details as well if required for the same.

Kind regards

  • Hi,

     

    Just attaching a link that help you in the configuration - Deploying BIG-IQ Virtual Edition in Amazon Web Services

     

    For understanding the system requirement , better to connect with F5 sales/account manager. It will need 100 devices add on license and CPU: 8 CPUsRAM: 32 GB or 64 GB for better performance, especially if collecting extensive statistics, alerts, or events from the managed devices. So better to connect with F5 and get the suggetsions.
