Installing SD-WAN VPX Standard Edition AMI on AWS
December 4, 2020
The Citrix SD-WAN SE appliances bond multiple network paths in the single virtual path. The virtual
paths are monitored so that critical application paths are always routed through optimal paths. This
solution enables customers to deploy applications in the cloud and utilize multiple service provider
networks for seamless delivery of applications to the end-users.
To create an SD-WAN SE-VPX on Amazon Web Services(AWS), you go through the same process as with
creating any other instance, setting a few instance parameters to non-default settings.
Instantiating an SD-WAN Virtual Appliance (AMI) on AWS:
To install an SD-WAN virtual appliance in an AWS VPC, you need an AWS account. You can create an
AWS account at http://aws.amazon.com/. SD-WAN is available as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) in
AWS Marketplace.
Note: Amazon makes frequent changes to its AWS pages, so the following instructions may not be
