Deploy Aviatrix Controller LAB
There are number of resources available to deploy the Aviatrix Controller in the cloud of your choice.
For LAB Testing or ACE Certification
- We recommend you deploy Aviatrix Controller with Pay As You Go (PAYG) or metered option in AWS.
- You can also deploy Aviatrix Controller in AWS or Azure with PAYG or Metered option.
- Deploying Controller in GCP is available but it is not recommended because then it will require a customer-ID or license file from Aviatrix.
- The customer-ID is only given to our customer for POC or production deployment and is not available for ACE certification testing and preparation.
Here is a step by step video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtnW3atc55w
You can also take a look at Aviatrix Documentation for additional help

Hello,
First of all I created an EC2 in the AWS' VPC. But when i create the EC2, AWS tell me to create a key that will allow me to connect to the EC2... i don't understand everything, so i just named a key "my name" and then the EC2 was created.
Next, i try to deploy Aviatrix Controller. When i get to the parameters where i have to choose VPC and subnet, i can't choose the keypair "Controller" as seen in the video, it shows me the key "my name" that i created before. Is this normal ?
Another thing that i noticed, my EC2 is configured "t2.large" not "t3.large", do i have to change it in the parameters when i deploy the controller ? or do i have to create an EC2 t3.large ?
Secondly, i just want to know if i pay the Aviatrix Controller that will be running in my AWS' VPC after deploying it ? I'm trying to practise in Cloud architecture (as shown in Aviatrix Controller Deployment video) that's why i want to know, im not really using the VPC.
Thanks for listening.
