What is BIG-IP Next¶
At its core, it’s still the same BIG-IP that F5 customers know and trust, simply designed and rearchitected for the future. BIG-IP Next is the next generation BIG-IP software built to offer greater automation opportunities, scalability, and ease-of-use for organizations running applications on-premises, in the cloud, or out at the edge. Powerful declarative APIs are the foundation for BIG-IP Next’s API-first design, making it faster and easier for DevOps, NetOps, and other BIG-IP-reliant teams to manage and automate their BIG-IP deployments.
A completely rearchitected software layer built on a modern framework provides the basis for significantly improved control plane scale and performance, reduced cloud footprint for lower operational costs, and rapid instance upgrades. Carrying forward the comprehensive suite of advanced BIG-IP functionality developed over the past 20 years, BIG-IP Next continues to deliver everything from application security and access controls to local and global traffic management—and availability across the same breadth of deployment and consumption models as its predecessor.

K000152956: BIG-IP strategic update: Modernizing BIG-IP TMOS and discontinuing BIG-IP Next
F5 launched the BIG-IP Next program to modernize F5’s BIG-IP software and empower customers to adapt to the demands of the evolving application landscape. The program focused on delivering enhanced scalability, simplified operations, and advanced automation capabilities to BIG-IP. Initially, many of the enhancements envisioned for BIG-IP Next were considered unattainable within the monolithic architecture of BIG-IP TMOS. However, recent technological advances—including cutting-edge development tools and innovative third-party software components—have demonstrated that these improvements can now be realized within the existing BIG-IP TMOS codebase.
Extensive customer feedback in recent years also highlighted various challenges associated with the adoption of BIG-IP Next, such as the need for significant solution reintegration and recertification efforts. In response, to minimize disruption for BIG-IP customers and to accelerate delivery of a solution built for the next application era, F5 has made the strategic decision to discontinue development of BIG-IP Next. F5 will instead extend an
