VSX Geo-Cluster in AWS

[LostBoY]

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).

Overview is found here, look at Virtual System column!

1. VS Appliances

2. Customized Solutions

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.

Thanks for the reply..

I have been looking for an exclusive sk stating that VSX is not supported in Cloudguard.. however havnt been able to find any yet

 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.
