Been using it as a AnyConnect VPN solution for over a year now

  • September 29, 2023
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

We setup an EC2 instance to act as an AnyConnect VPN gateway, to be able to access our various IP addresses in AWS and even resources in our office because the office has an ipsec link to AWS. And yeah, it's been working great/solid for a little over a year now. We have about 15 remote employees who anyconnect vpn into it regularly. We don't set the default route to go out through the vpn though, because AWS charges for network traffic, but we route all our private IP's and a small handful of public IP addresses through the vpn tunnel and it's been stable.

default password - read the directions

Folks the inquiries about the default password... Sigh- read the directions. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa99/asav/quick-start/asav-quick/asav-aws.html
Here is how to make it work... BEFORE you launch the AMI you must click advanced details and ADD a zero day configuration via text entry. Once you do connect via SSH and the username is admin. That said I was a victim too on the first try.

Really close to the physical rackmount version

  • October 13, 2016
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

Using these for work for most of the year now with a site-to-site tunnel from an asa-v in us-east-1 to an asa-v in us-west-2 as well as several incoming site-to-site tunnels and remote access VPN on both 9.5.2.204 and 9.5.2.207. Make sure you know what you're doing...you're comfortable with Cisco config via user data (and later ASDM if needed), you have compared what ASA-v doesn't provide, etc. otherwise you'll give undeserved 1-star reviews like those before. Only issue seen so far is Syslog can die with lots of traffic around a month in (204) or several months in (207) which requires a restart of the appliance. I'm hoping 9.6.2.1 fixes that. Other than that a ChangeLog for each AMI version would be nice to see.

Nice to have

It's easy to manage because ASA OS is same as appliances.
I think ASAv is supported via a Smart License model.
