Hi

as subject, Is r2600 need to install F5OS-A? It support only 1 tenant.

Didn't we can just install BIG-IP firmware? forget about multi-tenant feature.

As I know r-Series runs only with F5OS.

Yep, @Juergen_Mang is right. Here's an overview.

 I agree it feels a bit strange you have install a hypervisor layer to run one tenant. But at some point BIG-IP is going to stop and I expect the new system (BIG-IP Next) will require F5OS on F5 hardware, so it always the same combination F5OS + tenant software. Perhaps it might also allow for more tenants?
