FusionHub is the virtual SpeedFusion appliance from Peplink which allows you to establish SpeedFusion connections between cloud servers and physical Peplink devices, among those supported is Amazon Web Services/AWS.
UPDATE: here’s a new simplified approach to install on AWS outlined here-
(Part A) Acquiring FusionHub Instance
Note/Update on June 2020:
You are now able to acquire the FusionHub instance from AWS Marketplace, as stated in the post.
In your InControl 2 account, Organization Level > Organization Settings > Warranty & License -
At the bottom of the page, under the “FusionHub Liscenses” section, click “Acquire FusionHub AMI for AWS EC2” -
Once complete, login to your AWS Management Console -
Once logged in, select AMIs under Images -
At the top, locate Filter and pick Private images.
(Part B) Configuring FusionHub Instance
Click on Peplink FusionHub and a blue dot appears to show that it’s highlighted.
Click Launch -
In the next screen Choose an Instance Type, click “t2.micro”
Then click “Configure Instance Details” at the bottom right of the page.
The “Configure Instance Details” page allows you to make changes to the
Instance details and network interfaces. If you’re unsure what these should be,
then please skip this step.
Click Review and Launch at the bottom right
In the next page “Review Instance Launch”, click on Edit security groups.
Configure the Basic Security Group settings as follows:
● Remove SSH
● Add TCP 2222/32015
