NimbostratusWill Big-IP ver 17.5.X supported on VMware ESXi ?
I am in the process of deploying new Big-IP LTM VE edition on VMware ESXi platfrom.
From the F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition Supported Platforms matrix page https://clouddocs.f5.com/cloud/public/v1/matrix.html, only ver 17.1.X are supported on ESXi version 8.0 U1-U3 and 7.0 U3
Based on K5903: BIG-IP software support policy https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K5903
Ver 17.1.X will be end of technical support by 31 March 2027.
The Big-IP ver 17.5.0 had just been released last month (27 Feb 2025), will it be supported on ESXi platform in the next release ?
