64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.

AUTOMATIC DEPLOYMENT (RECOMMENDED)
Imperva simplifies the deployment of your WAF Gateway infrastructure on AWS by providing dynamically generated CloudFormation and Terraform templates tailored to your specific requirements through the Imperva Cloud Template Tool.

MANUAL DEPLOYMENT
DISCLAIMER: This procedure is not intended for use in large-scale production environments. For a best-practice installation, use the automated deployment method.
- Create a VPC, a key pair and at least one subnet.
- Verify that your Management Server is up and running.
- Create a security group for the Gateway instances.
- Create the following inbound rules:
- [Management Server IP/SG] ==> [Gateway SG] @ TCP:443
- [Administrative IP ranges] ==> [Gateway SG] @ TCP:22
- [Client ranges] ==> [Gateway SG] @ [reverse proxy ports] (variable) Additionally, all Gateway instances must be able to reach the Management Server over ports 8083 and 8085 (TCP).
- Launch one or more instances from the product's AMI, attached to the Gateway security group.
- Once the instances have passed all status checks, SSH into each instance and execute the following commands to configure it as a Gateway:
bootstrap_set //bootstrap/product/components/gateway/cloud gateway_group "aws"
/opt/imperva/impcli/commands/ftl --silent --component Gateway --model_type <AV1000 or AV2500> --management_ip <management_server_ip> --secure_password <secure_password> --system_password <system_password> --imperva_password <imperva_password> --grub_password <grub_password> --product WAF --timezone UTC --gateway_mode reverse-proxy-hades --gateway_group aws --is_advanced_bridge Disabled
- Replace all <variables> with your own values.
- For <management_ip>, specify the IP address of your existing Management Server.
- For <model_type>, specify either AV1000 or AV2500 based on your license's supported Gateway modules. The AV2500 model provides the highest performance.
- After running the FTL, root access via SSH will be blocked by default as a security measure. To undo this, delete the contents of /etc/security/access.conf and add the following line:
+:root:ALL
- After successfully running the FTL on all instances, log in to your Management Server's user interface at https://<MX_IP>:8083>.
- Navigate to Setup > Gateways and confirm that all Gateways appear as Running under the 'aws' Gateway group. Note that this may take up to 5 minutes after completing the FTL process.
- Refer to the user guide to configure your environment as desired and protect your applications: https://docs.imperva.com/bundle/v15.3-waf-user-guide/page/70414.htm
