CacheGuard Gateway F250-R50 (BYOL)
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."

Usage instructions
You can manage your CacheGuard Gateway via its Web GUI at https://<cacheguard-public-ip>:8090 or via SSH. By default, CacheGuard Gateway on AWS uses two distinct public IP addresses: one external public IP used for outgoing traffic to the internet and one internal public IP used for incoming connections to its embedded Web proxy on the TCP port 8080. If from the same local public IP address you manage AND use your CacheGuard Gateway (as a Web proxy), your CacheGuard Gateway will be accessible only on its internal public IP address from that local public IP address.
CacheGuard Gateway is provided with full online and offline documentation that include a User’s Guide and a Command Line Manual. You can find the CacheGuard Documentation via CacheGuard administration interfaces (Console, SSH and HTTPS) or online on the Web.
You can monitor the health of a CacheGuard Gateway either by inspecting the reports that are made available via its Web GUI or by using the “system report” command line. In addition, CacheGuard Gateway supports SNMP and the syslog protocol.
CacheGuard Gateway on AWS requires that you provide a contact name and a valid email address in order to register your appliance and allow you to benefit from our services Please refer to the CacheGuard Privacy Policy for more details at https://www.cacheguard.net/pdf/CacheGuard-Privacy-Policy.pdf .
