Amazon AWS and GTM initial setup
We have launched two Amazon F5 BIGIP VE's in EC2. (LTM/GTM/ASM are all in one box for each)
We have 2 availability zones and would like a dual availability setup. The requirement is too have two different subnets per box, so they can act more like a dual data center instead of a HA pair. The GTM modules would be Active/Active
I have a few questions to anyone who has done this before.
- Do I use the Elastic IP provided by AWS for the GTM listener or do I just use a IP off my external provided interface?
- Does the AWS Master Key and Secret control the functionality of the GTM active/active sync?
- Do I still add WideIP's via the GTM webui or is some of this controlled by AWS?
Is there any more tricks or configuration that has helped anyone with AWS and F5?
I can't find very much information on this particular topic, expect here: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-ve-setup-amazon-ec2-11-4-0/2.html
Thanks!
