Configure a Gateway Load Balancer on GigaVUE Cloud Suite in AWS

The gateway load balancer (GWLB) uses the gateway load balancer end points to distribute the traffic across the end points. It is a VPC endpoint that provides connectivity in between virtual machines. With GWLB Endpoint as a target, mirrored traffic can be forwarded from any subnet. You can monitor network traffic across multiple VPCs and accounts, with centralized traffic inspection in a single VPC across their entire organization.

Architecture

 

In the architecture, you can see the deployment of GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS environments that have GWLB implementation for the security appliances, such as firewalls. In such deployments, the applications and your appliances are in different VPCs. The workload VPC is configured with the Gateway load balancer endpoint while the service VPC is configured with the Gateway load balancer. Gigamon deployed VPC has the solution components, such as GigaVUE-FM, GigaVUE V Series Nodes, and the OOB tools which consume the mirrored and decapsulated data.
