Template Does Not Support Bring-Your-Own-License Model

[javajason]

Describe the bug

When deploying a BIG-IP with this template and using a BYOL-style license, I continually got the following deployment error: "The following resource(s) failed to create: [Bigip3NicInstance]."

In multiple attempts, I continually got this error. Only when instead using the default "PAYG" (pay-as-you-go) model did the deployment succeed.

Expected behavior

According to the docs, both the PAYG and BYOL model should work. When entering a valid license string in the BYOL model, it should work the same as selecting PAYG.

Current behavior

When selecting BYOL and entering a valid license string, I received the error message, "The following resource(s) failed to create: [Bigip3NicInstance]."

Possible solution

Steps to reproduce

Go through the normal deployment steps but select BYOL. When prompted, enter a valid BIG-IP license string.

Hi @javajason, which template did you use? Did you follow the steps to deploy a BYOL instance listed here to change the Runtime Init config file and image name: https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-aws-cloudformation-v2/tree/main/examples/failover#changing-the-big-ip-deployment

If so, can you share a sanitized version of /var/log/cloud/startup-script.log? thanks
