Overview
CacheGuard Gateway is a network Security and traffic Optimization appliance that you can implement easily and quickly in your organization. When you deploy a CacheGuard Gateway, you get multiple features in a single box and it's up to you to activate features as per your requirements.
You can use CacheGuard Gateway either as a forwarding proxy to get security while browsing the Web or as a reverse proxy to protect your Web applications on the cloud. As a forwarding proxy, CacheGuard Gateway filters unwanted websites and block malware even before they can enter into your networks. As a reverse proxy, CacheGuard Gateway acts as a WAF (Web Application Firewall) and allows you to protect your applications against content attacks. In addition, CacheGuard Gateway comes with a VPN server, a Web application load balancer, a Firewall, a Web caching system, a traffic shaping and QoS facility, a mini PKI and much more. CacheGuard Gateway gives you the power to do it all as easily as possible.
The PAYG license type comes with the Standard Support and UBL & EAV (URL Blacklists & Extended Antivirus) services. Please note that in order to register your appliance and receive your credentials to access UBL & EAV services, you will be asked to provide a contact name and a valid e-mail address during the deployment.

CacheGuard Gateway F100-R20 (PAYG)
The CFT (Cloud Formation Template) allows you to properly deploy a CacheGuard Gateway on AWS cloud. It is important to note that without the usage of the CFT, CacheGuard Gateway would not work.
To work, a CacheGuard Gateway requires at least 2 NIC (Network Interface Card). The two NIC are the internal and the external NIC. Protected users and Web applications should be placed behind the internal NIC (trusted zone) while the external NIC allows the Gateway to communicate with the untrusted internet. The CFT creates the two required network interfaces, connect them to two distinct sub networks and assigns to each NIC a private and a public IP address. The internal public IP address can be freed if end-users of the CacheGuard Web proxy do not need to directly connect to the Gateway via the internet (but connect using CacheGuard VPN).
All AWS resources are created in a dedicated VPC by default. The created EC2 instance on which CacheGuard Gateway run can then be moved to other VPC and/or networks according to your infrastructure architecture on AWS.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
