F5 virtual machine (VM) images are not released for hotfixes. The process of applying hotfixes for VMs is to install the released version of the software, and then apply the required hotfix on top of it.
Two installation steps, where one might be expected.
Hotfix releases for VM installations.
Install the released version of the software, and then apply the required hotfix.
This release contains base installation virtual machine (VM) images in addition to the hotfix updates. The VM images now consist of base release software, with hotfixes already applied. That means the system is immediately ready for deployment after hotfix installation, and no longer requires two steps (install the base installation image, and then install the hotfix).
