HAProxy Enterprise is a fast, flexible, and reliable software load balancer. It features SSL termination and offloading, multi-layered security including a web application firewall (WAF), detailed observability, application acceleration, and robust administration. HAProxy Enterprise is backed by authoritative support and professional services.
HAProxy Enterprise enables modern application delivery at any scale and in any environment, including on AWS. Fast and efficient load balancing improves application performance and reliability (2 million RPS on a single Arm-based AWS Graviton2 instance). Multi-layered security protects applications against DoS, bots, abuse, and layer 7 application attacks. Observability features enable fast issue resolution, pro-active prevention, and informed capacity planning.
Simple to deploy and administer, with flexible service discovery, RESTful Data Plane API, single sign-on (SSO), zero downtime reloads, automatic dynamic updates of ACL/Map files, SSL/TLS certificate automation (including Let's Encrypt integration and OCSP stapling), device detection and geolocation databases.
HAProxy Enterprise on AWS is compatible with HAProxy Fusion for centralized management, monitoring, and automation, including support for AWS Auto Scaling groups, Route 53, and CloudWatch. This combination simplifies the management and observability of your load balancing and WAF layers at scale.
Highlights
Load balancing: Fast and reliable, high availability, wide protocol support, choice of algorithms, and complex routing logic.
Security: Multi-layered defense for apps and APIs with SSL/TLS, bot management and crawler validation, rate limiting, and web application firewall (WAF).

HAProxy Enterprise Basic - Ubuntu Server 22.04 AMI (ARM)
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You pay by the hour for HAProxy Enterprise Basic running on an Ubuntu Server 22.04 AMI. Pricing is usage-based, so you are billed only for the hours each instance runs. The many dimensions are not feature tiers. Instead, each one maps to a specific AWS Graviton (ARM) EC2 instance type, from small options like t4g.nano up to large bare-metal sizes like m8gd.metal-48xl. Your hourly rate scales with the compute size you select. All instances run the same software; you choose the instance that fits your capacity and performance needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit map to, and what software do I get on each instance?
Each hourly unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you pick, from t4g.nano to m8gd.metal-48xl. Every instance runs the same HAProxy Enterprise Basic software on Ubuntu Server 22.04 (ARM). You pick the instance for your capacity; the software feature set does not change.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused, for example a standby site?
Software charges meter running instance-hours only. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software fee. Underlying AWS resources, such as attached storage, may still incur separate AWS charges while stopped. Billing for the software resumes when the instance runs again.
Does my cost change if I move to a larger instance type?
Yes. Your hourly rate is tied to the specific instance type you run. Switching to a size with more compute changes the rate to that type's hourly price. There are no user or throughput tiers layered on top; the instance size you select drives the hourly cost.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Launching AMI: Deploy the HAProxy Enterprise AMI using the instance size of your choice. We recommend choosing an instance with at least 2 CPUs and with at least 8 GB RAM. Select the instance size, agree to the subscription terms, and follow the AMI configuration instructions.
Connecting to Instance: Once the AMI has been launched and fully booted (instance is being shown as healthy) you can connect to it using the SSH key pair that you selected while launching the instance.
Use the following command to connect to the instance depending upon the operating system that you selected. Please make note of the instance IP and connect either through private IP (from bastion host) or through public IP (EIP):
Ubuntu: ssh -i <private key> ubuntu@<ec2 IP>
Red Hat Enterprise Linux: ssh -i <private key> ec2-user@<ec2 IP>
Starting and Managing the service: The HAProxy Enterprise service will automatically run upon initialization. You can manage the process using systemctl.
To view the process status run systemctl status hapee-2.8-lb
