Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Product not working in AWS
Can not access console after deployment. Can not SSH as well. Can ping after enabling ICMP in firewall. Try to login using serial console, but credentials are not working. Crazy !!!
Not working
Not able to access it via IP to set it up. I set it up with all the default settings, checked IPs, etc, still not able to access. I can ping the server (once I enable ICMP), but I cannot connect via browser to configure it.
Sonicwall NSV - missing cloud native features
This product works like many other Firewall/VPN/Routers available through AWS marketplace and seems fine for that use. I had specifically looked at this one as Sonicwall advertise the ability to directly pass logs through to cloud watch. Unfortunately this is not the case with this product. Their NSA series (physical hardware) devices can, but there cloud native product NSV, running on the same firmware release does not have the feature available, or it is hidden from where it should be in the Manage-Network settings page. Seems very odd that their AWS native product cannot talk to AWS cloud watch, whereas their Hardware (on Premise) appliances can.
