AltocumulusUpgrade to version 17.x.x ?
Hello, I have a BIG-IP cluster Ver15.1.5 with 2 members and using the modules LTM-APM-WAF. The Ver 15.x.x will be supported until the end of December 2024.Also i read the new features that Ver17 has...
Cpet I always recommend upgrading to the latest recommended by the vendor as long as it doesn't have bugs for something that you currently use in production. In conjunction with what CA_Valli and Mohamed_Ahmed_Kansoh have mentioned you can also upload a QKVIEW of your device to iHealth and it should provide you notable security concerns in informational, low, medium, and high risk and then what the resolution for each is. You can get to iHealth by going to the following link.

In addition to the above make sure that you look at the upgrade path to ensure that you can upgrade from your current code version to the latest recommended or even a different version without any incremental upgrade or possibly updating the service check date. The following should be helpful with that upgrade path and the second link for service check date requirements.
Hi Cpet ,
The Recommendation from F5 is to track the target version Bugs and security breaches.
So No one will give trusted info about upgrade to newer versions more than ( F5 Bug Tracker )
This is Link of F5 Bug tracker : https://my.f5.com/manage/s/bug-tracker
Choose the version that you aim to upgrade to.
and use filters by selecting ( your operative modules " APM , ASM , LTM ...." or even TMOS , Also look at blocking and critical, severe and high Vulnerabilities ).
This is the most ideal start to plan for your upgrade.
If you're satisfied by this reply , please mark it as accepted solution , because much users have huge concerns about bigip software versions, So letting them know about F5 Bug Scrub / tracker is the right way to put them in the correct way.
Good Luck 🙂
