F5 Distributed Cloud Services is a suite of security, networking and application management services that enable customers to deploy, connect, secure, and manage any application or API across a broad array of public, private, network, and edge locations, revolutionizing how enterprises navigate the rapidly evolving digital landscape. Built on a globally distributed platform that provides secure network connectivity for workloads deployed in on-premises and public cloud environments, F5 Distributed Cloud Services are integrated into a consolidated software stack that can be consumed via SaaS or deployed locally in on-premises environments.
F5 Distributed Cloud Secure Multicloud Networking: Easily connect modern application clusters and services across disparate cloud and edge sites into a single network with a SaaS-based control plane. Secure Multicloud Networking includes integrated native layer 3 network connectivity provisioning, and a proxy-based architecture that enables layer 7 service networking as well as the advertisement of applications and APIs across different clouds without needing to provision underlying network infrastructures. The platform serves as an ingress/egress controller for Kubernetes clusters, simplifying application deployments across distributed cloud and edge sites.
Use Cases

This listing uses a single usage-based pricing dimension measured in Units. You pay only for what you use, with no upfront commitment. The service connects and secures applications across cloud, data center, and edge environments through a virtual network overlay. Because billing runs on consumption, your cost scales with actual usage rather than a fixed tier or seat count. There are no separate instance sizes or add-on options in this listing. All charges accrue against the same Units meter, so total cost tracks how much of the service you consume over time.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as a Unit for billing this service?
A Unit is the metered measure of your consumption of the service. Your bill tracks how much of the connectivity and security capacity you use, such as running gateway sites and traffic across cloud, data center, and edge environments. You are charged based on actual usage rather than fixed seats or instances.
Am I charged when a connected site or gateway is idle or powered off?
Charges accrue against the Units meter based on your actual consumption. Idle or powered-off resources reduce measured usage, so cost tracks what you actively run. Because billing is pay-as-you-go with no upfront commitment, your total scales down when usage drops. For exact metering rules at rest, contact the vendor.
Is this pay-as-you-go or do I commit upfront?
This listing uses usage-based pricing with no upfront commitment. You pay only for what you consume, metered in Units. Charges accrue as you deploy gateway sites and route traffic across environments. There is no fixed term or seat count, so your bill rises and falls with actual consumption over time.
