Almost 99% of the time it seems like those fw releases are b/c of a new drive being released, e.g. latest NVMe drives, etc. My advice for how to stay on top of fw for drives and everything else really is to keep on top of patching ONTAP since the FW bundles are now included (and have been for some time) in the ONTAP upgrade packages.

Yah, in this specific case, you're right - but I recall from the past, that the comiled all*.zip files did not always contain the most recent firmware.

All firmware from 17-May-19 is initial release, so is not available as downloadable image.

Hey,
I'm interested in the ways people keep their firmware updated on their filers. On the support website, you can download all.zip and all_shelf_fw.zip, but they are most of the time not recent enough, so f.ex. today I could download all.zip from 10-APR-19 and there is more recent firmware for quite some disks dated with 17-May-19. Does anyone know if there is a public/private URL where I can download a "nightly" build or something like this for all.zip? Or is there any URL/FTP/etc. (without having to parse the download website with some selenium scripts or something like that) that I could use to mirror all the firmware files to one of my servers and create the zip file there?
Best,
