AWS ELB vs F5 SSL TPS calculation
We are running AWS ELB in cloud and now planning to bring it to our datacenter and it is going to be F5. Now i need to understand ELB first to understand how much request we are processing and TPS i need to get new F5 box to handle that request. AWS ELB cloudwatch has very strange metrics and not very clear to understand so may be you folks can help here. ActiveConnectionCount per sec Request Count per sec Does above graph indicating i need to buy F5 which can handle 20k SSL TPS or 800k TPS?
FIPS validated F5 load balancer to work with AWS ELBs
Hi, We recently found out that the AWS ELBs are not FIPS 140-2 validated. We plan on continuing to use ELBs for their AZ failover, ASG etc features but we now need to come up with a solution where the public end-points for our apps would be FIPS validated. As a note, our entire infrastructure is on AWS. Is there an F5 solution that we can stand it up in front of ELBs and have it accept external connections and route those back to ELBs? Also noteworthy is that the ELBs may change their IPs over time so this solution will need to be handle that without causing traffic disruption. Thank you.
