Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.
Additional details
Usage instructions
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-2.6-lb
Accessing Web Dashboard: To access the dashboard you will need to first get the username/password from /README.txt
$ cat /README.txt
Then connect using http://<ec2 IP>:9022/

Centralized monitoring has improved efficiency and provides faster responses to application issues
Reviewed on Jun 24, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for HAProxy is to load balance my applications and for Layer 4 of the OSI model.
I use HAProxy on GitLab to make commits on SSGador parts, and I have some Zabbix and Wazuh agents to monitor my applications.
What is most valuable?
The best feature HAProxy offers in my experience is its TCP functionality, as I don't use it for HTTPS because I use Traefik for that purpose. I use only the TCP protocol with HAProxy and not the HTTPS protocol.
HAProxy has positively impacted my organization because all of my applications are now centralized in one point, so I can manage it from my load balancer machine. I'm using a virtual machine on AWS , and it's very useful because I can now determine if one agent on Wazuh or Zabbix is out of range. This allows for better control and quicker responses to issues if the system goes down for an extended period, improving efficiency.
What needs improvement?
For the limited use that I have of HAProxy, I don't have any points to improve. I think I need more time with this tool, or perhaps I simply don't have areas that need to get better. I don't have additional thoughts about needed improvements, even if it's something small or just an idea for the future.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working in my current field for about eight months.
What was our ROI?
In terms of specific outcomes, I have seen approximately twenty dollars in cost savings because I was planning to use a load balancer from AWS . HAProxy is really useful and faster because I can see if the system or the agent on Wazuh or Zabbix goes down, which is truly helpful.
What other advice do I have?
The output of HAProxy is good, with a lot of information. It's a really good work tool. I don't have much to discuss about the output other than that it provides excellent information, allowing me to centralize all of the components that I have. It's really important because I can manage my applications more efficiently.
My advice to others looking into using HAProxy is to look at the documentation, which is really good, and to search for some use cases because they may find more benefits and improve their use of the tool better than I have now. I really recommend HAProxy to another IT business partner to use it. It's a really good tool, and if you use it well, you will gain a lot of benefits from it. I gave HAProxy a rating of ten out of ten.
