HAProxy Enterprise is a fast, flexible, and reliable software load balancer. It features SSL termination and offloading, multi-layered security including a web application firewall (WAF), detailed observability, application acceleration, and robust administration. HAProxy Enterprise is backed by authoritative support and professional services.
Overview
HAProxy Enterprise enables modern application delivery at any scale and in any environment, including on AWS. Fast and efficient load balancing improves application performance and reliability (2 million RPS on a single Arm-based AWS Graviton2 instance). Multi-layered security protects applications against DoS, bots, abuse, and layer 7 application attacks. Observability features enable fast issue resolution, pro-active prevention, and informed capacity planning.
Simple to deploy and administer, with flexible service discovery, RESTful Data Plane API, single sign-on (SSO), zero downtime reloads, automatic dynamic updates of ACL/Map files, SSL/TLS certificate automation (including Let's Encrypt integration and OCSP stapling), device detection and geolocation databases.
HAProxy Enterprise on AWS is compatible with HAProxy Fusion for centralized management, monitoring, and automation, including support for AWS Auto Scaling groups, Route 53, and CloudWatch. This combination simplifies the management and observability of your load balancing and WAF layers at scale.
Highlights
- Load balancing: Fast and reliable, high availability, wide protocol support, choice of algorithms, and complex routing logic.
- Security: Multi-layered defense for apps and APIs with SSL/TLS, bot management and crawler validation, rate limiting, and web application firewall (WAF).
- Observability: Advanced logging, Prometheus integration, SNMP, end-to-end request timing, OpenTracing.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for HAProxy Enterprise Basic running on an Ubuntu Server 22.04 machine image. Pricing is usage-based with no upfront commitment. Each dimension maps to a specific Amazon EC2 instance type, from small general-purpose sizes to large compute, memory, storage, and accelerated options. The software rate stays tied to the instance you select, so cost scales with the capacity you choose. Larger or specialized instances carry higher hourly rates. You pick the instance that matches your workload, and billing follows the running hours of that instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The rate covers the HAProxy Enterprise Basic license running on an Ubuntu Server 22.04 machine image. You get load balancing, health checks, and enterprise security features. Each dimension maps to one Amazon EC2 instance type. You pay the software rate plus the underlying EC2 infrastructure cost separately.
Hourly software charges apply only while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the software rate. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes. The software license meters running hours of the instance you select.
The software rate is tied to the EC2 instance type you run. Larger or specialized instances carry higher hourly rates. Cost scales with the capacity you choose, not with traffic volume or request counts. Switching instance types changes the hourly rate accordingly.

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.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Launching AMI: Deploy the HAProxy Enterprise AMI using the instance size of your choice. We recommend choosing an instance with at least 2 CPUs and with at least 8 GB RAM. Select the instance size, agree to the subscription terms, and follow the AMI configuration instructions.
Connecting to Instance: Once the AMI has been launched and fully booted (instance is being shown as healthy) you can connect to it using the SSH key pair that you selected while launching the instance.
Use the following command to connect to the instance depending upon the operating system that you selected. Please make note of the instance IP and connect either through private IP (from bastion host) or through public IP (EIP):
Ubuntu: ssh -i <private key> ubuntu@<ec2 IP> Red Hat Enterprise Linux: ssh -i <private key> ec2-user@<ec2 IP>
Starting and Managing the service: The HAProxy Enterprise service will automatically run upon initialization. You can manage the process using systemctl.
To view the process status run systemctl status hapee-2.8-lb
