    Hi, I currently use a Mac OS as a personal device and I have set up my test environment with fusion. Being that said I've done some test in the past with VirtualBox with successful results.

     

    I can't wait to see BIG-IP running in Dockers, it's going to rock!

    there are earlier questions about running BIG-IP in virtualbox, so search for those.

     

    running in a docker container doesn't seem like that a logical next step for BIG-IP but who knows.
