Deploying the BIG-IP LTM as a vApp in the public cloud
The next task is to deploy BIG-IP LTM Virtual Edition(s) as a vApp in the
public cloud environment.
You need make sure of the following before beginning the procedures in
this section.
• Activate the device license and provision LTM for nominal and WOM
for WOM Lite
• Configure all VLANs and self IP addresses to connect so that the direct
access network is the “external” network on the LTM and the “internal”
network is connected to the isolated network.
Before beginning the BIG-IP LTM configuration, you need to upload and

Uploading and instantiating the BIG-IP LTM VE in the public cloud
Use the following procedure to upload and instantiate the BIG-IP LTM
Virtual Edition in the public cloud.
To upload and instantiate the BIG-IP LTM in the public
cloud
1. Download the latest BIG-IP LTM Virtual Edition from
https://downloads.f5.com/esd/index.jsp to a computer which has the
ability to upload to the Public cloud.
In our example, we download BIGIP-10.2.0.1707.0.ova.zip.
2. Check MD5.
3. Unzip the file you downloaded to a temporary directory.
Note: VMware Cloud Director transfer service allows for the
upload of .ovf files and their associated .vmdk files. Uploading .ova
files is not yet supported. An .ova file is simply an uncompressed
archive of the .ovf and associated files. This archive must be
unpacked out to its five constituent files. (F5_icon, .cert, .ovf, .mf,
and .vmdk).
