VSX Geo-Cluster in AWS

LostBoY — Fri, 10 Jul 2020 10:23:11 GMT

Hello,

I recently configured a Checkpoint Geo-Cluster in AWS .. where one member of the cluster is active in one Availibility zone and the other one in a different availability zone..

I was wondering if a VSX Cluster can be configured on AWS as a geo Cluster... i cudnt find any articles related to it.. does AWS support VSX Clusters ?

No - VSX is only available on VS Appliances (e.g. 5600, 5800, 15400, 15600, 23500, 23800, 44000, 46000).

VSX in general is only supported on physical appliances.
That would preclude use in CloudGuard IaaS.
This is evident in the price list, though something more explicit in SK might not be a bad thing.

Nor will you. If you need an explicit statement you will probably have to go to your account team. VSX in any virtual environment has not been (to my knowledge) QA'd, but not stated as unsupported, leaving it in an indeterminate quantum state. That said, it works perfectly fine under VMWare Workstation/Fusion and ESXi, but I would not recommend it for production without an official "Supported" statement.
