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
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 machine image. There are no tiers or feature levels here. Instead, each dimension maps to one AWS EC2 instance type, and your rate changes with the instance you choose. Prices scale with instance capacity, so smaller instances cost less per hour and large or metal instances cost more. You run the instance only when you need it and stop paying when you stop it. Pick the instance size that matches your traffic and resource needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for a given EC2 instance type?
Each dimension maps to a single AWS EC2 instance type. One unit is one hour of that instance running the HAProxy Enterprise Basic machine image. You pay the per-hour rate tied to the instance you launch, counted for each hour the instance runs.
Am I charged for the software when an instance is stopped or in standby?
The hourly software charge meters running time only. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue the HAProxy Enterprise Basic hourly rate. Underlying AWS storage or other resource fees may still apply separately while the instance is stopped.
How does this hourly machine image pricing differ from the vendor's standard license?
Here you pay per instance-hour with no upfront commitment, and the rate follows the EC2 instance you choose. The vendor's direct license is quoted separately and customized to your needs. For that pricing, contact the vendor's sales team.

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
