In the earlier post of building a Vyatta router on the cloud with Amazon EC2, I mentioned that I had issues with setting up a SNAT (source NAT) and made the assumption that it was either a bug or the OS image of Vyatta on Amazon.
I’ve been working through this issue with Stig from Vyatta on their forums. You can view the messages at http://vyatta.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2908

This will be my first Demo Camp to attend and I’m actually excited about it. Apparently, I’ve missed the last 11. Considering I’ve recently heard about it, I think I’m ok.
Date: October 19th 2009 6pm to 9pm
Location: Clocktower Brew Pub (downstairs), 575 Bank St (http://bank.clocktower.ca)
Check out this link for full details.
Hopefully on the next one, I’ll sign up to demo our application.

Over the past two weeks, I’ve been working on setting up a virtual router on the cloud with the goal of building redundancy, and achieving high availability. After working on different platforms, I’ve come to the conclusion that Vyatta is the best way to go, whether on the cloud or not.
The router is being used for site to site vpn communication between a central and remote location. There will also be an application server on either end. Your typical network setup would look somewhat like the picture below.

Vyatta is the underdog in the great world of routing. For long, corporations have been tied down on expensive and proprietary hardware. With Vyatta, it runs on standard x86 hardware and can accomplish what a Cisco router can, and attain better performance without the bloated cost.
