Nature of work-  Upgrade the F5 LTM system software to stay current with releases, improve reliability, address security issues, and provide new features.

The F5 LTM systems are a redundant pair in LC and a redundant pair in ITF. The LC F5 LTM pair will be upgraded first as follows:

  1. Upgrade LC standby LTM
  2. Shift services from the LC primary LTM to the standby LTM
  3. Upgrade LC primary LTM
  4. Shift services from the LC standby LTM back to the primary LTM

The same process will be repeated with the F5 LTM pair in the ITF datacenter. No service impact is expected.
