Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use F5 Distributed Cloud Services for free?

Yes, we provide a completely Free plan that provides basic platform services for your test/dev or production needs.
What can I do with the Free plan?

The Free plan gives you the flexibility to deploy various capabilities:

  1. Deploy containerized apps in our global application delivery network using your existing Kubernetes (K8s) deployment spec. You can deploy up to eight containers across our global network to deliver lightning-fast performance to a global audience—no need to manage any K8s clusters, load balancers, or worry about the security of the app.
  2. Secure an already running app in one or two cloud locations (even across two different cloud providers). It is as simple as configuring a virtual load-balancer in our network and providing the IP addresses of the origin server(s). If you don’t want your origin servers to be exposed to the public Internet, you also get the flexibility to deploy up to two Distributed Cloud Mesh nodes in each of the cloud location(s) to privately and securely connect your origin servers to our global network without exposing your app to the public Internet.
  3. Deploy Distributed Cloud App Stack software on a VM in your public/private cloud location(s) or on a certified hardware in your edge location. This gives you a fully managed app platform that is not only distributed in the cloud/edge but also in our network (with up to eight containers in our global network). You can deploy and operate as many apps as you require in your cloud or edge location.

You can create many other combinations based on your imagination—for example, deploying SD-WAN across two locations and creating networks and security policies across these two locations and to the public Internet. These are just some of the good examples that we can think of and we are sure that you will dream of many more.
Why would I need to upgrade from the Free to a paid Individual plan?

You will need to upgrade from the Free plan to the Individual plan if you scale your deployment beyond the noted levels or need to manage more apps or locations. Alternatively, you might require the advanced security services, additional analytics data, or advanced support that comes with our Teams or Organization plans. These two higher value plans will require you to sign-up directly for one of these plans or open a support ticket to move from Free/Individual to one of these plans.
What will be my billing date?

The date you migrate from the Free to a paid plan will be your recurring billing date. If you directly signed-up for a paid plan, your sign-up date will be the recurring billing date.

For Organization plans only: The billing date will be the date of order booking unless otherwise specified.
When do you charge my payment method?

There are two major components of your bill, a fixed subscription fee charge and a variable service usage fee. There is one bill generated at the end of the billing cycle that includes both the fixed subscription fee charge and the variable charge. And there will be one transaction at the end of the billing cycle on your payment method. 
Can I get a preview of my usage before I am billed?

Yes, you can view the cycle-to-date usage and costs incurred in the billing section of Distributed Cloud Console. You can view usage details per hour in the “Usage Details” page in the billing section. In addition, you can get a cycle-to-date summary of your bill in the “Usage Summary” page.
What happens when I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

The upgrade and downgrade is currently supported for:

  • From/to Free and Individual plans.
  • From/to Teams and Organization plans. For Teams and Organization plans, the downgrade-to-Free plan requires you to close the account and open a separate Free or Individual plan.
What happens if my organization is tax exempt?

If you are eligible for tax exemption, you can request “Tax Exempt Status” by submitting requisite documentation such as a Tax-Exempt Certificate on Distributed Cloud Console under the Billing Settings section. Please refer to the Tax-exempt documentation for more details.
What are service usage fees?

Service usage fees are variable consumption-based fees that are incurred by using specific services that are included with each plan. You can view these fees at any time during the billing period in the “Usage Details” page in the billing section of the console.
How many usage credits are included in each plan?

The Free plan does not include any usage credits. The Individual and Teams plans include $25 and $200 respectively in usage credits that are applied towards any additional service usage fees at the end of the billing period.
