no direct HA support

  • By Al Joe

If you are happy to run a single appliance in a single AZ and don't care about high availability, you can take risk of running this appliance. But I don't understand why businesses will do this.

This appliance does not support HA, or atleast does not seem to on AWS cloud. Without an HA solution this becomes only working for non-enterprise users for testing on AWS.
Businesses trying to deploy this on AWS will not have out of the box HA solution and hence will not have the ability to failover connections/VPN which does not make it useful.

Pfsense company should publish an article on how to provide HA solution for multi-AZ deployment.

Very disappointed.
