GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS

GigaVUE® Fabric Manager (GigaVUE-FM) is a web-based fabric management interface that provides a single pane of glass visibility and management of both the physical and virtual traffic that form the GigaVUE Cloud Suite Cloud.
GigaVUE-FM integrates with the Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) APIs and deploys the components of the GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS in the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). The GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS consists of the following components:

GigaVUE-FM
GigaVUE V Series node
GigaVUE V Series controller
GigaVUE Cloud Suite G-vTAP controller

GigaVUE-FM is launched by subscribing to the GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS in the AWS Marketplace.
Once the GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS instance is launched, the rest of the Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) residing in the AWS Marketplace are automatically launched from GigaVUE-FM based on the specifications in the GigaVUE-FM interface. GigaVUE Cloud Suite is available in both the public AWS cloud and in AWS GovCloud and supports the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model and the hourly Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) model that you can avail from the AWS Marketplace.
This guide describes how to deploy the GigaVUE Cloud Suite on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. For information about installing GigaVUE-FM in your enterprise data center, refer to the “Installation and Upgrade” section in the GigaVUE Fabric Management Guide available in the Gigamon Documentation Library.

GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS Secret Regions

Commercial Cloud Services (C2S) and Secret Commercial Cloud Services (SC2S) are the secure AWS Secret Regions for the Intelligence Community (IC) of U.S. Government. In GigaVUE-FM, a user with the appropriate agency name, mission, and role can toggle to an AWS Secret Region (C2S or SC2S) for IC’s Cloud environment. Refer to GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS Guide for detailed information on regular AWS configuration.

About AWS Secret Regions
There are more security enhancements and features contained in AWS secret regions than a regular AWS cloud service. Following are the key features of AWS secret regions.

No outbound internet access—Users can not access GigaVUE-FM and C2S/SC2S services without a proxy connection.
The reduced set of AWS services and/or components—Secret Regions have a limited set of AWS services and resources. While many fundamental AWS services such as EC2 and S3 are available, many of the managed services like AWS Elastic BeanStalk, AWS EFS, AWS Lambda, AWS CodeDeploy, AWS CodeCommit, etc. are absent.
Secured access—Access to the IC’s cloud environment is based on two-way SSL communication through PKI certificates. For the IAM users, access to C2S/SC2S is only through tokens. C2S/SC2S has a built-in CAP module that is placed between the vendor software and the IAM services.
o For C2S, GigaVUE-FM calls CAP for AWS token bypassing the appropriate Agency, Mission, and Role.
o For SC2S, GigaVUE-FM first calls CAP to retrieve the agency, account name, and role name then pass in the appropriate agency, account name, and role.
NOTE: The session token is always associated with expiration and GigaVUE- FM needs to renew the session token before expiration.
Network differences—The AWS secret regions utilize service endpoints with different DNS names and require users to provide the service endpoints.
