BigIP-VE BYOL in AWS Http -> Https Redirect via Elastic IP
BigIP-VE 13.0 HF3 Multi-Nic
I am currently trying to POC something in AWS that their load balancing solutions can't accommodate. One thing i am having an issue with is the ability to do an HTTP to HTTPs redirect via Elastic IP.
Topology:
Elastic IP -> Private Vip IP on F5 Interface -> Snat -> EC2 Instance
Issue:
does not redirect to
What Does Work:
DOES redirect to
Tried:
I have tried the built in redirect rule i have also tried a redirect irule redirects to the FQDN that is pointed at the elastic ip.
I believe this has something to do with the fact that Elastic IP is really a one to one nat to that private IP that lives on the F5.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you everyone!
I have resolved this issue. Newb mistake.
For anyone that has issues like i have experienced make sure your using igw for your default gateway not a nat gateway in your AWS Route Table.
