+VyOS High Availability (HA) Deployment on AWS
+\##########
+
+This document describes how to deploy VyOS in a High Availability (HA) configuration on AWS using Terraform and a VPC Route Server to provide sub-second failover.
+
+# Why Use HA on AWS?
+
+This solution helps organizations achieve **high availability** routing with dynamic connectivity to multiple AWS VPCs or hybrid environments.
+
+Key Advantages:
+
+- Utilizes **AWS VPC Route Server** to manage BGP routes dynamically.
+- Deploys two VyOS EC2 instances as BGP peers connected to the Route Server. Although both participate, one is typically preferred as the next-hop.
+- Employs **Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)** for rapid failure detection.
+- On failure:
+ - Withdraws the failed peer’s routes from the RIB.
+ - Recomputes the optimal path in the FIB.
+ - Updates VPC route tables to point to the active instance.
+- Enables **sub-second failover** (\< 1 s), outperforming AWS API-based route table failover.
+
+This architecture supports:
+
+- Cloud edge routing with failover.
+- Hybrid cloud resiliency.
+- Rapid recovery during instance crashes, upgrades, or network disruptions.
+- Continuity for mission-critical operations.
+
+# HA Architecture Diagram

+<img src="/_static/images/cloud-aws-ha-architecture.webp" alt="VyOS HA topology diagram" />
+</figure>
+
+# Terraform Automation
+
+To streamline and standardize the process, we developed a Terraform project that automates the deployment of VyOS in High Availability (HA) mode on AWS.
+
+This Terraform project automates the deployment of:
+
+- Two VyOS instances in HA mode.
+- VPC Route Server.
+- Transit Gateway.
+- A Transit VPC and a Data VPC containing a test Amazon Linux EC2 instance for connectivity validation.
+
+To integrate with existing AWS infrastructure:
+
+- Remove the Data VPC, its subnets, and EC2 test instance.
+- Update <span class="title-ref">main.tf</span>, <span class="title-ref">network.tf</span>, <span class="title-ref">transit_gateway.tf</span>, <span class="title-ref">variables.tf</span>, and <span class="title-ref">outputs.tf</span> accordingly.

+\##########
+VyOS Deployment on AWS and Azure for Secure Cloud-to-Cloud Connectivity
+\##########
+
+This document provides step-by-step guidance for deploying VyOS routers on both AWS and Azure.
+It describes how to establish secure inter-cloud connectivity using IPsec tunnels with BGP,
+automated through Terraform. Example workloads (Amazon Linux EC2 on AWS and Ubuntu VM on Azure)
+are also deployed for connectivity validation.
+
+# Why Cloud-to-Cloud Connectivity?
+
+Cloud-to-cloud connectivity is needed in modern multi-cloud environments for several reasons:
+
+- **Inter-Cloud Connectivity**
+
+ Enable secure and reliable communication between workloads in different clouds
+ (for example, AWS applications connecting to Azure-hosted identity services).
+
+- **Cloud-to-Cloud Migration**
+
+ During migration projects, workloads may temporarily run in both clouds.
+ Direct tunnels ensure smooth transition and synchronization.
+
+- **Testing and Validation**
+
+ Labs and proof-of-concepts often simulate multi-cloud architectures.
+ A VyOS-based tunnel lets teams test routing, encryption, and failover before production rollout.
+
+# Architecture
+
+The architecture consists of VyOS routers deployed in both AWS and Azure, connected via secure IPsec tunnels.
+BGP is used for dynamic routing between the clouds, allowing for seamless communication.
+

+<img src="/_static/images/cloud-aws-to-azure.webp" alt="VyOS Cloud-to-Cloud topology diagram" />
+</figure>
+
+# Terraform Automation
+
+To streamline and standardize the deployment process, a set of **Terraform projects** has been developed.
+These projects automate the provisioning of **VyOS instances** and the required networking resources across **AWS** and **Azure**.
+
+In addition to deploying VyOS, these projects also provision an **Amazon Linux EC2 instance** on AWS and an **Ubuntu VM** on Azure.
+These serve as test endpoints to validate connectivity between the cloud environments.

+\##########
+VyOS Deployment on AWS
+\##########
+
+This manual provides detailed step-by-step instructions for deploying a VyOS instance and required resources (VPC, ENIs, Subnets, Security Groups) on AWS.
+
+Prerequisites
+========
+
+1\. AWS Account
+-----------
+Ensure you have an AWS account with administrative access.
+
+2\. IAM Permissions
+-----------
+
+To deploy VyOS and related resources, the user must have the following permissions:
+
+- `ec2:` for managing EC2, ENIs, and EIPs.
+- `vpc:` for creating VPCs, subnets, and route tables.
+- `iam:` for attaching roles.
+
+3\. SSH Key Pair
+-----------
+
+You can use Amazon EC2 to create your key pairs, or you can use a third-party tool to create your key pairs and then import them to Amazon EC2.
+Amazon EC2 supports:
+
+- `2048-bit SSH-2 RSA keys` for Linux and Windows instances.
+- `ED25519 keys` for Linux instances (not supported for Windows).
+
+When you create a key pair using Amazon EC2:
+
+- The `public key` is stored in Amazon EC2.
+- You store the `private key` securely on your local machine.
+
+Steps to Create a Key Pair Using Amazon EC2
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Open the Amazon EC2 console <https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/>.
+- In the navigation pane, under `Network & Security`, choose `Key Pairs`.
+
+<figure>
+<img src="/_static/images/cloud-aws-keypair-01.webp" />
+</figure>
+
+- Choose `Create key pair` and select `AWS region` at the top right corner of the windows where you plan to deploy the VyOS instance.
+
+<figure>
+<img src="/_static/images/cloud-aws-keypair-02.webp" />
+</figure>
+
+\- Configure Key Pair:
+""""""""""
+
+> - **Name**: Enter a descriptive name for the key pair, e.g., `vyos-keypair`.
+>
+> > <div class="note">
+> >
+> > <div class="title">
+> >
+> > Note
+> >
+> > </div>
+> >
+> > The key name can include up to 255 ASCII characters. It cannot include leading or trailing spaces.
+> >
+> > </div>
+>
+> - **Select Key Pair Type**:
+> - For **Linux instances**: Choose either **RSA** or **ED25519**.
+>
+> - For **Windows instances**: Choose **RSA**.
+>
+> <div class="note">
+>
+> <div class="title">
+>
+> Note
+>
+> </div>
+>
+> ED25519 keys are not supported for Windows instances.
+>
+> </div>
+> - **Private Key File Format**:
+> - **PEM**: Choose this format if using OpenSSH or other SSH clients (e.g., on Linux/macOS).
+> - **PPK**: Choose this format if using PuTTY on Windows.
+
+- **Optional**: Add tags to the key pair. Choose **Add tag** and provide the **key** and **value** for each tag.
+
+- Choose **Create key pair**.
+
+- The private key file will automatically download to your browser.
+ - The file name will match the name you provided (e.g., <span class="title-ref">vyos-keypair.pem</span>), with the extension determined by the format you chose.

+<img src="/_static/images/cloud-aws-keypair-04.webp" alt="Important Notes" />
+<figcaption aria-hidden="true"><strong>Important Notes</strong></figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+- **Save the private key file securely**:
+ This is your **only chance** to download the private key. If you lose it, you cannot connect to your instance.
+
+- If you are using SSH on a **macOS or Linux computer**, set the correct permissions for the private key file:
+
+``` none
+chmod 400 vyos-keypair.pem
+```
+
+If permissions are not set to **400**, you will encounter an **"Unprotected private key file"** error when attempting to connect to the instance.
+
+> **Example Usage for SSH**
+
+``` none
+ssh -i vyos-keypair.pem vyos@<Public/Elastic IP>
+```

+
+Step 6: Allocate and Attach Elastic IP (EIP)
+-----------
+
+An **Elastic IP (EIP)** is a static, public IPv4 address designed for dynamic cloud computing. Elastic IP addresses can help maintain consistent connectivity to instances, even if they are stopped, rebooted, or replaced.
+
+- Elastic IP addresses are **public IPv4 addresses** and are reachable from the internet.
+- They can be quickly remapped to different instances or network interfaces within your AWS account to mask failures.
+
+For more details, refer to the official AWS documentation:
+
+<https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/elastic-ip-addresses-eip.html>.
+
+Steps to Allocate and Attach Elastic IP
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+1\. Allocate Elastic IP
+""""""""""
+
+- Open the **Amazon EC2 Console** at <https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/>.
+
+- In the navigation pane, choose **Elastic IPs**.
+
+- Choose **Allocate Elastic IP address**.
+
+- **Elastic IP address settings**:
+ - For **Public IPv4 address pool**, select **Amazon's pool of IPv4 addresses**.
+
+- (Optional) Add a tag:
+ - **Key**: `Name`, **Value**: `VyOS-EIP`.
+
+- Choose **Allocate**.
+
+<figure>
+<img src="/_static/images/cloud-aws-eip-01.webp" />
+</figure>
+
+2\. Attach Elastic IP to Public ENI
+""""""""""
+
+- Go to **EC2 \> Elastic IPs**.
+
+- Select the **Elastic IP** you just allocated.
+
+- Choose **Actions \> Associate Elastic IP address**.
+
+- **Configure Association**:
+
+ > - **Resource type**: Choose **Network Interface**.
+ > - **Network Interface**: Select the **VyOS-Public-ENI** created earlier.
+ > - **Private IPv4 Address**: Ensure it is correctly selected.
+
+- (Optional) Select **Allow the Elastic IP address to be reassociated** if the EIP is already associated with another resource.
+
+- Choose **Associate**.
+
+<figure>
+<img src="/_static/images/cloud-aws-eip-02.webp" />
+</figure>
+
+**Why Use Elastic IP?**
+
+- **Consistency**: The EIP remains static, even if the instance stops or is replaced.
+- **Failover**: If an instance fails, you can remap the EIP to a new instance to restore services quickly.
+- **DNS Integration**: You can point your domain to the Elastic IP for consistent public access.
+
+For additional details, refer to the AWS documentation:
+

+
+## Amazon CloudWatch Agent Usage
+
+To use Amazon CloudWatch Agent, configure it within the Amazon SSM Parameter Store. If you don't have a configuration yet, do `configuration_creation`.
+
+1. Create an `IAM (Identity and Access Management)` role for the `EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud)` instance to access CloudWatch service, and name it CloudWatchAgentServerRole. The role should contain two default policies: CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy and AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore.
+2. Attach the created role to your VyOS `EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud)` instance.
+3. Ensure that amazon-cloudwatch-agent package is installed.
+
+> ``` none
+> $ sudo apt list --installed | grep amazon-cloudwatch-agent
+> ```
+>
+> <div class="note">
+>
+> <div class="title">
+>
+> Note
+>
+> </div>
+>
+> The amazon-cloudwatch-agent package is normally included in VyOS 1.3.3+ and 1.4+
+>
+> </div>
+
+3. Retrieve an existing CloudWatch Agent configuration from the `SSM (Systems Manager)` Parameter Store.
+
+> ``` none
+> $ sudo /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/amazon-cloudwatch-agent-ctl -a fetch-config -m ec2 -s -c ssm:<your-configuration-name>
+> ```
+>
+> This step also enables systemd service and runs it.
+>
+> <div class="note">
+>
+> <div class="title">
+>
+> Note
+>
+> </div>
+>
+> The VyOS platform-specific scripts feature is under development. Thus, this step should be repeated manually after changing system image (`/installation/update`)
+>
+> </div>
+
+### CloudWatch SSM Configuration creation
+
+Creating the Amazon Cloudwatch Agent Configuration in Amazon `SSM (Systems Manager)` Parameter Store.
+
+1. Create an `IAM (Identity and Access Management)` role for your `EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud)` instance to access the CloudWatch service. Name it CloudWatchAgentAdminRole. The role should contain at two default policies: CloudWatchAgentAdminPolicy and AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore.
+
+> <div class="note">
+>
+> <div class="title">
+>
+> Note
+>
+> </div>
+>
+> CloudWatchAgentServerRole is too permissive and should be used for single configuration creation and deployment. That's why after completion of step \#3 highly recommended to replace instance CloudWatchAgentAdminRole role with CloudWatchAgentServerRole.
+>
+> </div>
+
+2. Run Cloudwatch configuration wizard.
+
+> ``` none
+> $ sudo /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/amazon-cloudwatch-agent-config-wizard
+> ```
+
+3. When prompted, answer "yes" to the question "Do you want to store the config in the SSM parameter store?".

+VyOS Deployment on Google Cloud Platform
+\#####################
+
+This guide provides step-by-step instructions for deploying a VyOS instance with two NICs and the required resources on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
+
+Prerequisites
+========
+
+Before proceeding, ensure the following:
+
+- A GCP account with billing enabled.
+- Permissions to deploy Marketplace images.
+- Access to enable APIs and create resources (e.g., Compute Engine Admin, Network Admin).
+- An SSH key pair for VyOS instance access.
+- GA Google Cloud Project.
+
+Deployment Steps
+========
+
+# Step 1: Add SSH Key
+
+1. If you don’t already have SSH keys, generate an SSH key pair of type `ssh-rsa` on your local machine:
+
+> Example:
+>
+> ``` none
+> ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/vyos_gcp -C "vyos@mypc"
+> ```
+
+<div class="note">
+
+<div class="title">
+
+Note
+
+</div>
+
+In the comment `vyos@mypc`, the username must start with vyos.
+This is because the default user in the VyOS image is `vyos`, and the Google Cloud API uses this value for SSH access.
+
+</div>
+
+2. Open GCP console and navigate to the **Compute Engine** \> **Metadata** \> **SSH Keys**. Choose
+ **SSH Keys**.
+
+<figure>
+<img src="/_static/images/cloud-gcp-01.webp" />
+</figure>
+
+3. Click **edit** and **Add item**.
+4. Paste your public ssh key and **Save**.

+
+<https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/connect/add-ssh-keys>
+
+<https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/connect/create-ssh-keys>
+
+Step 2: Create a Service Account (If You Don't Have One)
+-------------------------------
+
+1. In the Google Cloud console **IAM & Admin \> Service Accounts**.
+2. Select select a project.
+

+For more information, please visit the official Google Cloud documentation:
+
+<https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-accounts-create>
+
+<https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-account-overview>
+
+Step 3: Create VPC Networks and Subnets
+-------------------------------
+
+1. In the Google Cloud console **VPC Network \> VPC Networks** <https://console.cloud.google.com/networking/networks/list>
+2. Select select a project.
+
+<figure>
+<img src="/_static/images/cloud-gcp-proj.webp" />
+</figure>
+
+3. Click **Create VPC Network**.
+
+ **Public VPC**:
+
+ - Name: e.g., `vyos-public-vpc`
+ - Subnet creation mode: `Custom`
+ - Subnet name: e.g., `vyos-public-subnet`
+ - Region: e.g., `europe-west1`
+ - IP range: e.g., `10.0.1.0/24`
+ - Leave all other settings at default, then click **Create**.
+
+<figure>
+<img src="/_static/images/cloud-gcp-vpc-01.webp" />
+</figure>
+
+<figure>
+<img src="/_static/images/cloud-gcp-vpc-02.webp" alt="Private VPC:" />
+<figcaption><strong>Private VPC</strong>:
+<ul>
+<li>Name: <code>vyos-private-vpc</code></li>
+<li>Subnet creation mode: <code>Custom</code></li>
+<li>Subnet name: <code>vyos-private-subnet</code></li>
+<li>Region: e.g., <code>europe-west1</code></li>
+<li>IP range: <code>10.0.11.0/24</code></li>
+<li>Leave all other settings at default, then click <strong>Create</strong>.</li>
+</ul></figcaption>

+
+<figure>
+<img src="/_static/images/cloud-gcp-vpc-04.webp" />
+</figure>
+
+4. Add firewall rules to allow specific network traffic from the Internet if needed. By default, all incoming traffic from outside the network is blocked. Typically, a VyOS deployment from the GCP Marketplace configures this automatically, ensuring that SSH access is enabled after deployment.
+

+
+ Click **ADD A NETWORK INTERFACE** button to create a second (private) interface, and select following settings:
+
+ > - Network: `vyos-private-vpc`
+ > - Subnetwork: `vyos-private-subnet`
+ > - External IP: `None`
+
+<figure>
+<img src="/_static/images/cloud-gcp-vm-03.webp" />
+</figure>
+
+8. Deployment automation.
+ - You can use `cloud-init` `User Data` to automatically inject specific configuration commands into the VyOS instance during deployment.
+ - Example:
+
+> ``` none
+> #cloud-config
+> vyos_config_commands:
+> - set system host-name 'VyOS-for-GCP'
+> - set system login banner pre-login 'Welcome to the VyOS for on GCP'
+> - set interfaces ethernet eth0 description 'WAN'
+> - set interfaces ethernet eth1 description 'LAN'
+> - set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 'dhcp'
+> - set interfaces ethernet eth1 dhcp-options no-default-route
+> ```

+
+Connect to the VyOS instance
+-----------
+
+To connect to the VyOS instance, use the SSH key that was generated in the first step.
+
+To retrieve the public IP address, go to the **Google Cloud Console** and navigate to: **Compute Engine** \> **VM instances** <https://console.cloud.google.com/compute/instances?project=vyos-images>
+
+<figure>
+<img src="/_static/images/cloud-gcp-vm-08.webp" />
+</figure>
+
+Example:
+
+> ``` none
+> ssh vyos@35.233.97.132 -i .ssh/vyos_gcp
+>
+> The authenticity of host '35.233.97.132 (35.233.97.132)' can't be established.
+> ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:KCsCnwCGhwX2ba5RcPUAO3ZUSNzS4sXIkujFoScCd0g.
+> This key is not known by any other names
+> Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
+> Warning: Permanently added '35.233.97.132' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.
