  • Hi Thomas,

     

     

    I don't believe this is possible for now due to architectural and licensing issues.

  • Hi Aaron,

     

     

    licensing issues can be resolved - as well I see no big difference whether one installs on a VMWare VM or an Amazon VM.

     

    From a technical point one can instantiate VMWare VDMK images on Amazon which become converted to Xen but I doubt as well that this works out of the box in this case.

     

     

    I heard F5 is planning to offer something on AWS - but have not details yet.

  • Well, Amazon has an F5 AMI now, and I was able to get an F5 Strongbox eval license installed on the AWS Instance, but now I am confronted with "An error has occurred while trying to process your request." when trying to configure the device. If anyone here has done this by now, please share your experience.

     

     

    thanks,
