AWS - supporting 20+ virtual servers in a single VE?

Hi - thought this would be an easy question, but I'm not seeing a clear/clean answer ...

 

If you have a case where you want to use an F5 BIG-IP VE on AWS, but you have 20 virtual servers that need to be hosted on independent, internet-accessible IPs ... how do you do that? Do you just keep adding EIPs to the EC2 instance running VE? What are the limits? What are the add'l costs (on top of the hourly F5 + EC2 costs)?

 

Thx!

    example cost in the US East region is $.005/per hour per additional EIP. So if you need 20, that's 19 at an additional cost, which works to $2.28/day.

     

    It's been a while since I've seen the configuration limits on VE, but it comes down to memory and disk on that front. You are nowhere near concern at 20 vips.
