Session Resiliency for the VM-Series on Public Clouds
You can enable session resiliency to help maintain sessions continuity for VM-Series
firewalls deployed in a cluster on AWS and GCP.
Session resiliency allows the VM-Series firewall deployed in a cluster on AWS or GCP to maintain session continuity during
a failure event. The AWS Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) and GCP Network Load Balancer
(NLB) can detect and deregister unhealthy VM-Series firewalls deployed in a
horizontally scalable cluster behind. With session resiliency enabled, the GWLB and
NLB can rehash existing traffic sessions flowing toward an unhealthy VM-Series and
redirect the traffic to a healthy VM-Series firewall.
To maintain sessions failing over to healthy VM-Series firewalls, you must deploy a
Redis cache accessible to your VM-Series firewalls— ElastiCache for Redis for AWS
and Memorystore for Redis for GCP. The Redis cache maintains session information.
When your load balancer detects an unhealthy VM-Series firewall, the load balancer
rebalances traffic to a healthy VM-Series firewall. The healthy VM-Series firewall
accesses the Redis cache for session information and continues to inspect and
forward the existing traffic.
Traffic inspection of the rehashed traffic flows is Layer 4
only. The VM-Series firewall inspects traffic in new sessions up to Layer 7.
Enable session resiliency on the VM-Series firewall by passing the configuration as
part of a bootstrapping init-cfg.txt file or in the user data field using the
following new parameters.
op-command-modes=mgmt-interface-swap plugin-op-commands=set-sess-ress:True redis-endpoint=<redis-IP-address:port> redis-auth=<redis-auth-code> redis-certificate=
Session resiliency can't be enabled on existing VM-Series
firewall instances; only on newly deployed instances.
