Architecture

The design shows how to deploy GigaVUE Cloud Suite fabric components in a centralized VPC where the target VMs of multiple AWS accounts are deployed behind an external AWS network load balancer. GigaVUE-FM creates VPC mirroring on the target VMs to mirror and forward the traffic to the load balancer. The load balancer then deploys or deletes additional GigaVUE V Series Nodes and distributes the traffic among them to aggregate, filter, and forward the traffic to the tools over the tunnel endpoint. In AWS, the Auto Scaling group monitors the load among all the GigaVUE V Series Nodes and adds or removes them via RESTful API integration with the GigaVUE-FM when the traffic load crosses or drops below a pre-defined threshold.

A typical AWS deployment to support the external load balancer requires the following components:

• GigaVUE-FM (GigaVUE-FM fabric manager )
• GigaVUE V Series Node
• AWS Network Load Balancer (uniformly distributes traffic from AWS target VMs to GigaVUE V Series nodes)
