NetScaler VPX - Customer Licensed
Cloud Software Group | 14.1-38.53Linux/Unix, FreeBSD 11.4 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Doesn't work at all, have deployed twice and spent 20+ hours troubleshooting
Deploy this AMI, connect to it with a browser, the configuration tab automatically opens and get stuck trying to resolve an autoscale group in DNS. DNS resolution does not function out of the box. Once you upload your license, the configuration tab is permanently stuck on the license loading and never moves forward. I've deployed it twice, and one of the times I added two additional NIC's VIP and SNIP per documentation, can ping IP addresses however DNS does not work so I believe it can't phone home to activate the license (my guess). The configuration tab only displays the license file upload screen and one cannot get past this point, even if they upload a license file. I'd rate this basically DOA, it's completely unusable.

Doesn't work with only one network interface
One of the fundamental architectural requirements is that NetScaler requires 3 network interfaces. However when you deploy this AMI it only comes with one. No problem right? just manually add the other two? Wrong. If you try this your NetScaler becomes unresponsive, you can't access the http/https or the SSH or anything else.
Citrix support does not care enough to even look into this issue. It's almost like they never tested this other than powering it on to see if it worked.
