VyOS on AWS (Standard Support) - Pay-as-You-Go
VyOS Inc | 1.3.3Linux/Unix, Debian 9 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
not very stable
We setup IPsec connections between vyos instance and more than 20 sites.
It is working but from time to time it will randomly drop packet or lose IPSec connection and I have to write a another script to scan, and reset the tunnel and the vpn settings from client router.

So far so good
It is still early days, but so far I cannot fault VyOS. We use it within our transit VPC and all the IPSec, BGP etc. functionality are there that we require. I especially like the CLI - very easy to use and yet very powerful. In my opinion this could be a strong contender with the more mainstream (and costly) virtual router appliances out there.
good for VPN gateway
VyOS is a good solution for VPN gateways with a small footprint but good functionality.
Used here for months without major hiccups.
Does exactly what I need
Quick to boot and low system requirements.
There was an ssh issue with an earlier image, now fixed. Details of the issue can be found on http://blog.vyos.net (which I suggest subscribing to)
Works well
No issues with the keys here. Works well and is packed with features. I've been a long time user of the 1.1.7 version.
SSH connection not allowed, vendor mis-configured?
I tried this out to set up as a VPN endpoint for a VPC.
SSH cannot connect with the vyos user via linux command line with the pem file, nor on Windows via Putty with the private key loaded. Used auto-generated security group allowing SSH . No matter what user I try, vyos, root, or whatever, it will not allow log in.
I disconnected the EBS storage, and mounted it to another EC2 instance. I discovered the vyos user's authorized_keys file for SSH is empty.
Appears to be vendor mis-configured, save your time and money.
