NIOS version for Azure deployment

[#1]

Hello

We are currently running Infoblox 8.5.5. We want to deploy additional NIOS on Azure using ARM templates. So, which available version should we select to deploy from Azure Marketplace? Choices are (8.4.3, 8.5.3, 8.6.0, 8.6.2). I'd appreciate your answer. Thanks

Hello,

Based on your current grid version, 8.5.3 would be a good choice(All though other versions could work too). As long as there's a valid upgrade path from the joining appliance's current version, the grid member joining will automatically be adjusted to the grid master's version(Or be downgraded as appropriate).
