Last Updated : Jul 29, 2021 |

About this task

The Elastic load balancer distributes incoming traffic between Avaya Aura® Web Gateway nodes. In cluster deployments, you must create one Elastic load balancer for Avaya Aura® Web Gateway nodes.

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. On the Amazon Web Services Management console, navigate to Services  > EC2  > Load Balancers.
  2. Click Create Load Balancer.
  3. On the Configure Load Balancer page, configure the settings as follows:
    1. In Name, type a name of your choice.
    2. In Scheme, select Internal.
    3. In IP address type, select ipv4.
    4. In VPC, select the Virtual Private Cloud that you are using for your deployment.
    5. In Listener, add listeners for the load balancer as follows:

      Load balancer

      8445
    6. In Availability Zones, select the subnet that you configured for all nodes in the cluster.
  4. On the Configure Security Settings page, in Certificate Type, select Choose a certificate from ACM and then select the certificates that you prepared for the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway FQDN.
  5. On the Configure Security Groups page, in Assign a security group, select Select an existing security group and then select the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway load balancer security group that you created.

    For more information about security groups, see Creating security groups.

  6. On the Configure Routing page, configure routing as follows:
    1. In Target, select Existing target group.
    2. In Name, select the target groups related to Avaya Aura® Web Gateway nodes.

      For more information about the target groups, see Creating target groups.

  7. On the Register Targets page, click Next: Review.
  8. Click Create.


  10. On the Amazon Web Services Management console, navigate to Services  > EC2  > Load Balancers.
  11. Click Create Application Load Balancer.

    1. In Certificate Type, select Choose a certificate from ACM and then select the certificates that you prepared for the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway FQDN.
    2. In Security Policy, select ELBSecurityPolicy-TLS-1-2-2017-01.
  14. On the Configure Security Groups page, in Assign a security group, select Select an existing security group and then select the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway load balancer security group that you created.

    For more information about security groups, see Creating security groups.

  15. On the Configure Routing page, configure routing as follows:
    1. In Target, select Existing target group.
    2. In Name, select the target group for Avaya Aura® Web Gateway nodes for port 8448.

      In Creating target groups, this is the Target group for Avaya Aura® Web Gateway nodes #1 group.

  16. On the Register Targets page, click Next: Review.
  17. Click Create.
  18. On the Load Balancers page, select the load balancer for Avaya Aura® Web Gateway nodes that you have just created and then do the following:
    1. In the Listeners table, select a listener with the HTTPS : 8445 listener ID and then click Edit.

      Amazon Web Services displays the Settings page for the listener.
