rSeries Hardware
summary
R Series is a refreshed appliance stack that runs F5OS-A with Kubernetes control plane to host TMSH/TMOS tenants while offloading SSL, compression and DDoS into FPGAs; initial platforms are R10000 and R5000 with three pay‑as‑you‑grow tiers each (e.g., 10600/10800/10900) and R10000/R5000 with 100G and 25G optics; software starts at 15.1 for tenants, F5OS has its own API, migration uses the open‑source Journeys tool, layer‑3 SSL is supported today while layer‑2 SSL remains pending.
