BIG-IP 9.0 Release Lifecycle
BIG-IP 9.0 is a F5 Networks BIG-IP software release. Releases are maintained on a fixed schedule: F5 Networks ships fixes and security patches until the release reaches end of engineering, after which a device must be upgraded to a maintained release to stay patchable. The dates below are milestones for the software train, not for any specific appliance — hardware running this release has its own separate lifecycle. This product has reached end of life as of , meaning F5 Networks no longer provides technical support, software updates, or hardware replacement for this product. Organizations still running the BIG-IP 9.0 should plan a migration .
