How to: Deploy Meraki dual redundant vMX100 in HA config in Amazon AWS

I've managed to crack a problem I have had many people ask me - how do you deploy dual vMXs into Amazon AWS in a redundant manner.

 

The short answer - using an Amazon AWS Lambda script to check the status of each vMX and dynamically update the Amazon AWS route tables.  So if one vMX goes down everything will fail over nicely to the other vMX.

 

I have had my first crack at documenting the process and requirements here:
