Cisco ASAv Multicontext firewall versus Cisco ASAv standalone firewall deployment

Hi,

We have currently got Cisco ASA Physical appliance running in Multicontext mode. and have multiple hosted customers using the different firewall context as the Gateway firewall. Now planning to migrate the hosted customer environments to Oracle Public Cloud.

Since, we dont want to have any changes from the Customer/thirdparty dependencies, after the move, planning to use Cisco ASAv on AWS, as the initial entry point from outside(terminating Site to Site VPN, Other external traffic like ftp,NATed customer exposed services on the ASAv) and then rerouting the traffic through "Megaport technology"

https://www.megaport.com/ to Oracle Cloud, where the existing customer environment will be rehosted.

 

Below is the traffic flow/topology

 

========     |        NAT based srv  

Customer      |        -------------->        +++++++++++            _________        ______________________

Laptop/    ====>> Site to Site VPN   ==>   AWS-ASAv   ===>   Megaport  ===> Oracle cloud(Cust Env subnets

========       |     --------------->         ++++++++++           __________        _____________________          

                      |       ftp based srv                                      

                      |      -------------- >                                                             

 

Need expert advice, on whether to go with Cisco ASAv for AWS in multicontext firewall or independent Cisco ASAv for AWS in standalone mode as firewall for different customer. Kindly advice, which one would be the best solution, from the

below perspective.

-Pricing

-Effective license usage

-Manageability

-Performance

-Other factors, which i cannot think of-please update any other dependencies.  

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Multi-context is not supported on ASAv (even on the latest version of ASAv), reference here. So you'd have to implement your other option of individual ASAv for each customer
