Updating Extensions without forcing a destroy

[letmetechyou]

I know that using custom data and making changes causes the vm to rebuilt itself. Is there any way possible to update the RPMs such as DO, AS3, TS without having to destroy and rebuild the vm using this init.

Hi @letmetechyou, Runtime Init is intended to be run at instance creation time; however ,to re-run it you could upload your new configuration file directly to the BIG-IP and then run f5-bigip-runtime-init -c /var/tmp/my_config.yaml from the BIG-IP shell.

The other option is for Runtime Init to support configuring remote BIG-IPs, this is not on the roadmap but you can request an RFE if you like.
