Amazon Web Services
Follow the instructions below to purchase or get an evaluation of the Barracuda Email Security Gateway on Amazon Web Services. After purchasing or obtaining an evaluation through Amazon, continue with How to Deploy the Barracuda Email Security Gateway on Amazon Web Services.
Before You begin
Create an Amazon Web Services account.
Create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) on Amazon Web Services. See Creating a VPC, Internet Gateway and Subnet.
Choose either the BYOL or Hourly/Metered licensing option:
Bring Your Own License (BYOL) – This option involves first obtaining a Barracuda Email Security Gateway license token by purchasing online at https://www.barracuda.com/purchase/. With this license option, there will be no Barracuda Email Security Gateway Software charges, but Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) usage charges on Amazon do apply.
Barracuda Networks offers the same three models for both the Hourly/Metered and BYOL options as shown below. After obtaining your license token, visit the AWS Marketplace to continue the process.
Hourly / Metered – In this licensing option, you complete the purchase/evaluation of the Barracuda Email Security Gateway entirely within the AWS Marketplace. Once the instance is launched, it will be provisioned automatically. In this option, you will be charged hourly for both the Barracuda Email Security Gateway Software and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) usage on Amazon. For pricing information, see the AWS Marketplace. Barracuda Networks offers the same three models for both the Hourly/Metered and BYOL options as shown below.
