vASA on AWS

[rm2017]

Looking at deploying Cisco ASA on AWS.  Does anyone have any experience with this in general and from a licensing standpoint?  The ASAv is available with a 'Standard Package' and a BYOL option.  Trying to find out what exactly the standard package will allow me to do from a licensing standpoint?  Will it support Anyconnect?   Also curious what the EBS requirements would be for the ASAv on AWS to try an get accurate price estimate for the deployment.

Thx.

Until you license the ASAv, it will run in degraded mode, which allows only 100 connections and throughput of 100 Kbps.

It actually depends is you have the AWS version in which case the licensing is as below or a BYO licence appliance....
