    Achieving High Availability with Vyatta on the cloud

    October 12, 2009

    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.

    Cisco on the Amazon EC2 cloud

    I’ve been working on virtualizing a cisco router on the cloud so that I can tunnel vpn traffic from one network to the other. The initial goal was to get a virtual Cisco router working on the cloud.

    To get this going, I have the Cisco IOS 12.4 and was planning on running it off of GNS3, which is a front-end UI to Dynamips. I have most of my servers with Rackspace, but for this project, I was working with a server on the Amazon EC2. Below is a snapshot of what I was trying to accomplish.
