Updating BIG-IP in Azure

I'm attempting to update our Azure F5 instance and normally with our VE version on premise I import the ISO file, install it to the inactive boot location, then reboot the F5 from that boot location to move to the new version. On our Azure F5 though, I only see one boot location. Is this normal? How do you go about updating an F5 with only one boot location?

    Yes, it's normal base on the type of license. This is an example for AWS, but I guess Azure probably have a similar plan.

    From what we are learning as we have the same issue, is that you would need a dual boot azure vm. We have to start from scratch it looks like and recreate in a new subnet. Hopefully this helps someone.
