GigaVUE V Series in AWS

V Series in AWS can be deployed in two ways – with or without the use of a V Series Proxy.

When deployed with Proxy, GigaVUE-FM communication with the V Series Node via the Proxy node. This is typically useful when GigaVUE-FM is deployed in a VPC that is different than where V Series Nodes are deployed, which makes direct communication with the V Series Nodes unfeasible.

Recommended Instance Types for AWS

 

Node type

Recommended Instance Types

V Series Proxy

t2.micro

V Series

c5n.xlarge

c5n.2xlarge

t3a.xlarge

Note:  Additional instance types are also supported. Refer to Support,  Sales, or Professional Services for deployment optimization.

Starting in the 5.12.00 release, V Series 2 deployments in AWS can also be deployed in conjunction with a Network Load Balancer. Refer to the Configure an External Load Balancer topic more information.

More detailed information and step-by-step instructions for deployment, refer to the Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components in GigaVUE-FM topic in the GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS–GigaVUE V Series 2 guide.
