Deployment Options for GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS

This section provides a detailed information on the multiple ways in which GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS–GigaVUE V Series 2 can be configured to provide visibility for physical and virtual traffic. There are three different ways in which GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS–GigaVUE V Series 2 can be configured based on the traffic acquisition method and the method in which you want to deploy fabric components. For information on the prerequisites and work flow refer the following topics:

• Prerequisites for AWS
• Deploy GigaVUE Fabric Components using AWS

• Deploy GigaVUE Fabric Components using GigaVUE‑FM 
  • Traffic Acquisition Method as UCT-V
  • Traffic Acquisition Method as VPC Mirroring
  • Traffic Acquisition Method as Customer Orchestrated Source

Deploy GigaVUE Fabric Components using AWS

GigaVUE‑FM allows you to use AWS as an orchestrator to deploy GigaVUE fabric components and then use GigaVUE-FM to configure the advanced features supported by these nodes. Refer the following table for the step-by-step instructions:

Step No	Task	Refer the following topics
1	Install GigaVUE-FM on AWS	Install GigaVUE-FM on AWS
2	Install UCT-Vs	For Linux: Linux UCT-V Installation For Windows: Windows UCT-V Installation
3	Create the AWS Credentials	Create AWS Credentials
4	Create a Monitoring Domain Note:  Ensure that the Use FM to Launch Fabric toggle button is disabled.	Create a Monitoring Domain
5	Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components Note:  Select UCT-V as the Traffic Acquisition Method.	Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components in GigaVUE-FM
6	Create Monitoring session	Create a Monitoring Session (AWS)
7	Add Applications to the Monitoring Session	Add Applications to Monitoring Session (AWS)
8	Deploy Monitoring Session	Deploy Monitoring Session (AWS)
9	View Monitoring Session Statistics	View Monitoring Session Statistics (AWS)

Deploy GigaVUE Fabric Components using GigaVUE‑FM

You can deploy GigaVUE fabric components using GigaVUE‑FM using one of the following three traffic acquisition methods:

Traffic Acquisition Method as UCT-V

In traffic acquisition using UCT-V, the traffic from Virtual Machines is acquired using the UCT-Vs and forwarded to the V Series nodes. To acquire traffic using UCT-V, perform the following steps:

Step No	Task	Refer the following topics
1	Install GigaVUE-FM on AWS	Install GigaVUE-FM on AWS
2	Install UCT-Vs	For Linux: Linux UCT-V Installation For Windows: Windows UCT-V Installation
3	Create the AWS Credentials	Create AWS Credentials
4	Create a Monitoring Domain Ensure that the Use FM to Launch Fabric toggle button is enabled.	Create a Monitoring Domain
5	Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components Note:  Select UCT-V as the Traffic Acquisition Method.	Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components in GigaVUE-FM
6	Create Monitoring session	Create a Monitoring Session (AWS)
7	Add Applications to the Monitoring Session	Add Applications to Monitoring Session (AWS)
8	Deploy Monitoring Session	Deploy Monitoring Session (AWS)
9	View Monitoring Session Statistics	View Monitoring Session Statistics (AWS)

Traffic Acquisition Method as VPC Mirroring

Perform the following steps to use VPC mirroring as your traffic acquisition method:

Step No	Task	Refer the following topics
1	Install GigaVUE-FM on AWS	Install GigaVUE-FM on AWS
2	Create a Monitoring Domain Ensure that the Use FM to Launch Fabric toggle button is enabled.	Create a Monitoring Domain
3	Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components Note:  Select VPC Mirroring as the Traffic Acquisition Method. You can configure a prefilter and determine the VPC endpoint traffic that is mirrored. For more information on prefiltering, see Configure a Traffic Pre-filter.	Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components in GigaVUE-FM
4	Create Monitoring session	Create a Monitoring Session (AWS)
5	Add Applications to the Monitoring Session	Add Applications to Monitoring Session (AWS)
6	Deploy Monitoring Session	Deploy Monitoring Session (AWS)
7	View Monitoring Session Statistics	View Monitoring Session Statistics (AWS)

Traffic Acquisition Method as Customer Orchestrated Source

You can use tunnels as a source where the traffic is directly tunneled to V Series nodes without deploying UCT-Vs or UCT-V Controllers. Perform the following steps to use Tunnel as your traffic acquisition method:

Step No	Task	Refer the following topics
1	Install GigaVUE-FM on AWS	Install GigaVUE-FM on AWS
2	Create a Monitoring Domain Note:  Ensure that the Use FM to Launch Fabric toggle button is enabled.	Create a Monitoring Domain
3	Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components Note:  Select Customer Orchestrated Source as the Traffic Acquisition Method.	Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components in GigaVUE-FM
4	Create Monitoring session	Create a Monitoring Session (AWS)
5	Create Ingress and Egress Tunnel Endpoints	Create Ingress and Egress Tunnels
6	Add Applications to the Monitoring Session	Add Applications to Monitoring Session (AWS)
7	Deploy Monitoring Session	Deploy Monitoring Session (AWS)
