F5 Google Deployment Manager Templates
Introduction
| :eyes: | Notice: F5 BIG-IP Cloud Solution Templates v1 (CSTv1) have reached their End of Life (EoL) and have been replaced by our next-generation templates available in the Cloud Templates 2.0 GitHub repo. We recommend you adopt the next-generation templates as soon as is feasible. |

Welcome to the GitHub repository for F5's Google Cloud Deployment Manager (GDM) templates for deploying F5 instances in the Google cloud. All of the templates in this repository have been developed by F5 Networks engineers. Across all branches in this repository, there are two directories: supported and experimental
-
supported
The supported directory contains Google GDM templates that have been created and fully tested by F5 Networks. These templates are fully supported by F5, meaning you can get assistance if necessary from F5 Technical Support. -
experimental
The experimental directory also contains GDM templates that have been created by F5 Networks. However, these templates have not completed full testing and are subject to change. F5 Networks does not offer technical support for templates in the experimental directory, so use these templates with caution.Template information
Descriptions for each template, including how the templates are generated and assistance in deploying a template, are contained in the README file on the individual template pages.
Matrix for tagged releases
F5 has created a matrix that contains all of the tagged releases of the F5 Google GDM templates, and the corresponding BIG-IP versions, license types and throughput levels available for a specific tagged release. See https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-google-gdm-templates/blob/master/google-bigip-version-matrix.md.
Current Supported F5 Google Deployment Manager templates
Standalone and HA production stack templates have been deprecated; a new parameter has been added to existing-stack templates to control deployment of public IP addresses. The following is a list of the current supported F5 GDM templates. Click the link to view the README file which includes information on how to deploy the template in Google Cloud.
Standalone BIG-IP VE - Single NIC
- Hourly, which uses pay-as-you-go hourly billing
- BYOL (bring your own license), which allows you to use an existing BIG-IP license.
Standalone BIG-IP VE - 2 NIC
- Hourly, which uses pay-as-you-go hourly billing
- BYOL (bring your own license), which allows you to use an existing BIG-IP license.
Standalone BIG-IP VE - 3 NIC
- Hourly, which uses pay-as-you-go hourly billing
- BYOL (bring your own license), which allows you to use an existing BIG-IP license.
Clustered BIG-IP VE: Failover via API - 3 NICs
- Existing Stack which includes an external IP address (typical)
