XG Azure appliance HA mode?

LPS IT Admin

We deployed an XG appliance into azure to act as the firewall for our servers. At the time, High Availability was not supported on this version. Has this become available in the past 9 months? Google isn't returning much. 

 

Thanks,

    Not that I have seen.  I've never tried to do it, but maybe with a load balancer in front you can get HA working?  That way the public IP's terminate at the lb?  Maybe I will give that a shot and report back.

     

    From what I have gathered, they are looking to do something similar to the UTM in AWS once the XG supports the API's.  In the meantime, I just have the conversation with clients about the potential impact.  We have cold standby units configured and ready to go, just deprovisioned.

     

    Thanks,

    Thank you for the input. I didn't think of having a cold unit waiting in the wings. Are you using the same license key on the cold unit?

    Just a config backup/restore.

    I should preface that it would be more for a regional issue.  We don't qualify for any SLA guarantee with only a single VM in an AS so this is why we discuss the pros/cons and the potential impact with clients.  Having a plan for another region is really what we are doing with the cold spare.  I'm looking forward to us having more options in this area.

    I still haven't had a chance to try the option I was thinking.  Who knows, might work, but not supported?  I'll try next week and get back with you.

    Thought you might find this useful, just found an HA deployment template up in the Sophos GitHub for XG:

    Scroll down to the bottom.  Going to test it out and see how it works, but might be just what you are looking for.
