    <title>topic AWS GWLB Target Failover setting in VM-Series in the Public Cloud</title>
    <link>https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/vm-series-in-the-public-cloud/aws-gwlb-target-failover-setting/m-p/1225749#M2354</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Somewhat of a silly question.&amp;nbsp; Have a GWLB configured with 2 vm-series firewalls as targets (1 fw in us-east-1a and the other in us-east-1b).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Under the target group configuration, there is a recommended setting to be enabled for Target Failover (screenshot below)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="securehops_0-1743794822128.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/66973i74AC0C32926E8BFB/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="securehops_0-1743794822128.png" alt="securehops_0-1743794822128.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Would I be correct in saying the only way to enable this option and have it work is to setup ElastiCache, as described in this article?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/vm-series/11-1/vm-series-deployment/set-up-the-vm-series-firewall-on-aws/vm-series-integration-with-gateway-load-balancer/enable-session-resiliency-on-vm-series-for-aws" target="_blank"&gt;https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/vm-series/11-1/vm-series-deployment/set-up-the-vm-series-firewall-on-aws/vm-series-integration-with-gateway-load-balancer/enable-session-resiliency-on-vm-series-for-aws&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If so, can it be enabled after deployment?&amp;nbsp; The guide above discusses more of an initial setup.&amp;nbsp; These vm-series are already in production&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
