Intro I've been working various flavors of SD-WAN for some time - arguably going back to my DMVPN days. The hotness these days seems to be around Velocloud, Viptela (Cisco SD-WAN), and SilverPeak. Today I want to focus on Velocloud, and specifically, what it takes to get a virtual Velocloud edge deployed and functioning in AWS. Head over here if you need background on the Velocloud solution. Counter to the spirit of gross marketing oversimplification, I've used a baker's dozen different tools and stacked up enough TLA's to give myself a nosebleed. Velocloud has its own share of nouns, and AWS adds to that plenty more technical debt concepts to make it interesting. It was quite a struggle to get all this going from scratch, so it seemed like a good idea to capture it in Terraform in order to stand up / tear down on-demand, and capture as many of the touch points I could in code. So strap in, it's time Terraform time. Demo Goal We're going
