VPN-Cubed for EC2 (RightScale Free Edition)

VPN-Cubed for EC2 RightScale Edition provides an overlay network that allows YOU control of addressing, topology, protocols, and encrypted communications for YOUR devices deployed to the Amazon EC2 regions.  With the help of RightScale Server Templates and RightScripts, launching and configuring your overlay network at EC2 is easier than ever.  Now you can launch servers in EC2 from RightScale's Cloud Management Platform and have them automatically join your pre-configured overlay network.  Look back soon for a shiny RightScript for peering your managers, for now it's still a 5 step manual process.

Your VPN-Cubed overlay network provides 4 key capabilities Amazon does not currently allow you to control:
  • static addressing for your EC2 devices,
  • topology control by using VPN-Cubed managers as virtual switches, virtual bridges or virtual routers,
  • use of popular enterprise protocols like UDP Multicast for service discovery,
  • and lastly encrypted communications between all your devices.
