VLS and BYOL follow F5’s typical motion of direct or through the channel. Whereas your customer must purchase CLP through a Cloud Provider. CLP provides utility pricing by the hour, day or month. So if a customer of yours wants to run instances of VE in AWS and pay by the hour, this is the way to go. But the instance would become highly expensive to run over an extended period of time. With BYOL the customer purchases a standard VE license, say with a 4-5 year lifecycle. This license could be moved to another cloud that F5 supports, like AWS. As discussed, VLS is a subscription that requires a large commitment in F5 infrastructure by the customer. For this reason, the price per instance is the lowest of the offerings.

Years in Production Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 C B A Hourly Utility BYOL Annual Subscription A Annual Subscription Production (OPEX) Capital Expenditure is not an option, but budget predictability and cost are important. B CLP/Utility Dev & test or temporal deployments (OPEX) Customer is building apps in the cloud. Flexibility is more important than per unit cost. C Cost examples based on AWS environment.
