In this chapter, I walk you through the configuration of a Linux instance to run the Virtu customer gateway. The instance will run three separate gateways: inbound decryption, outbound encryption, and outbound decryption. Before configuring the gateway, we first set up an AWS environment and security groups. Two security groups are created: ops remote access and service virtual gateway. We enable SSH traffic on port 22 and custom traffic on ports 9001, 9002, and 9003 for the virtual gateway. We then configure elastic IPs.
- The Linux instance will run three separate gateways: inbound decryption, outbound encryption, and outbound decryption.
- A security group named ‘ops remote access’ is created to administer machines and allow SSH traffic on port 22.
- Another security group named ‘service virtual gateway’ is created to enable custom traffic on ports 9001, 9002, and 9003 for the virtual gateway.
- Elastic IPs are configured, with two IPs initially set up for future redundancy but only one will be used today.
- The instance is ready to launch.
