ASA 5516 firmware upgrade

[MrBeginner]

Hi,

I would like to ask about ASA 5516 firmware upgrade.

i noticed cisco release 9.8.4 interim in 02 jun 2020.9.6.4 in 06 May 2020. 9.14.1 interim in 28 May 2020.

So how to chose which one is stable and update release ?

If one has a "Gold Star" it is recommended. In this case that would be 9.8(4)22.

You would go to a release newer that the recommended one only if your environment required a feature or was hitting a bug that's documented in the release notes or otherwise recommended by Cisco TAC.
