On December 15, 2022, F5 announced the addition of F5 Distributed Cloud App Infrastructure Protection (AIP), formerly known as Threat Stack, to Distributed Cloud Services. Distributed Cloud AIP is a cloud workload protection solution that expands application observability and protection to cloud-native infrastructures and through deep telemetry collection and high-efficacy intrusion detection—including supervised machine learning with ThreatML—for cloud-native workloads. In tandem with F5 Distributed Cloud Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) tools, Distributed Cloud AIP delivers comprehensive security that spans applications, APIs, and the cloud-native infrastructures on which they run.

F5 Distributed Cloud Services allows Threat Stack, Shape, Volterra, and F5 customers to continue to enjoy the same products and services, without the disparate collection of brands. This change will simplify the customer experience and allow F5 to enhance its offerings as a leader in software, security, and adaptive applications.
How you interact with products, assigned tenant name spaces/URLs, and who you work with for support and customer service will not be impacted by the branding changes.
All sales and support related inquiries should be directed to F5 via the respective email addresses for your region, which can be found on the Contact Us page of our website.
As of February 15, 2022, Volterra.io users will be redirected to cloud.f5.com, where they can select the “Login” button from the main Distributed Cloud Services page. Once you are logged in, the name spaces and URLs associated with your tenant will remain unchanged.
