Affected Product(s):
BIG-IQ Platform
Known Affected Versions:
6.0.1, 6.0.1.1, 6.0.1.2
Opened: Sep 18, 2018 Severity: 3-Major
The default settings of an AWS AMIs for BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) is to not delete an attached volume of an instance when the instance is terminated. This results in extra effort to delete a volume manually after terminating the instance. If not done always, the orphaned volume causes extra bills.
Volumes attached to BIG-IP VE instances will be deleted automatically when the instance is terminated. This option is set to be default now. If you want to keep a volume even after terminating a BIG-IP VE instance, you must set it to not be deleted upon termination during instance launch in AWS console.
Using AWS AMIs for BIG-IP VE.

None
A BIG-IQ VE AWS image now has the option set such that when an instance is launched out of it, that BIG-IQ VE instance will have volumes which are set to be deleted upon termination by default.
