The Citrix SD-WAN VPX for Amazon AWS brings acceleration support to the Amazon cloud.

Note: At the time of the 7.1.0 software release, the newest supported release of SD-WAN (now SD-WAN) WANOP-VPX for Amazon AWS is 7.0.1. Use this version along with release 7.1.0 on other appliances.

Five variations are supported, four of which have hardwired licensing, and one of which uses ordinary SD-WAN licensing:

  • 2 Mbps
  • 10 Mbps
  • 20 Mbps
  • 45 Mbps
  • “Bring your own license,” which uses a standard Citrix license to determine the licensed bandwidth.

Besides the hardwired licensing, the major difference between SD-WAN WANOP-VPX for Amazon AWS is that it supports only a single port for both management and acceleration. This means that the appliance cannot be used in inline mode.

To create an SD-WAN WANOP-VPX on Amazon AWS, you go through the same process as with creating any other instance, setting a few instance parameters to non-default settings.

Instantiating an SD-WAN virtual Appliance (AMI) on AWS

To install an SD-WAN virtual appliance in an AWS VPC, you need an AWS account. You can create an AWS account at http://aws.amazon.com/. SD-WAN is available as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) in AWS Marketplace.

Note: Amazon makes frequent minor changes to its AWS pages, so the following instructions may not be exact.
