PRA Failover configuration on AWS provision appliances

Has anyone had any challenges When configuring Failover with a shared IP on AWS Cloud host Manager appliances. 
We previously had Virtual appliance provisioned in VMWare (Failover configuration worked properly) and moved to AWS cloud host, since then Failover configuration does not seem to work. Wonder if we should have any additional setting in AWS or if there are any caveats to the Failover settings in Cloud-hosted PRA appliances.

Hello ​@Juan Isla - Shared IP Failover in AWS is not going to work, as far as I know. I think you would be limited to DNS or NAT Swing for AWS. You can use Route53 and our health checking APIs to set this up.

Also, just to note, if you are choosing to do do Failover inside AWS, then you will need to ensure the two appliances are hosted in different AWS regions and DC’s for actual redundancy.

Shared IP for AWS cloud is not supported - https://docs.beyondtrust.com/pra/docs/failover

 

Hope this helps.
