Leveraging the AWS GI

Let's learn about the different Global Applications in AWS

hashtag
Route53 :

  • Highly available and scalable cloud Domain Name System (DNS) web service.

  • Choose a domain name and then register it with Route53 (domain registration).

  • Can do health checks on AWS resources.

hashtag
Route 53 Routing Policies :

  1. Simple Routing Policy : No health checks, simple DNS routing.

  2. Weighted Routing Policy : Distribute traffic unequally or equally across multiple instances. => Kind of like load balancing but you define the balance).

  3. Latency Routing Policy - Routes user to the closest server/instances for least latency.

  4. Failover Routing Policy - Health checks the primary instance and if it unhealthy, it routes user to the "failover" instance.

hashtag
AWS CloudFront :

  • Fast and secure Content Delivery Network (CDN) service.

  • Provides low latency for content by caching it at AWS edge locations.

  • DDoS protection because it has shield included.

  • Differs from S3 cross Region Replication.

hashtag
S3 Transfer Acceleration :

  • Enable fast, easy, and secure transfers of files over long distances between your client and an S3 bucket.

  • As the data arrives at an edge location, data is routed to Amazon S3 over an optimized network path.

hashtag
Global Accelerator :

  • Sends user's traffic through AWS's global network infrastructure.

  • When the internet is congested, Global Accelerator's automatic routing optimizations will help keep packet loss, jitter, and latency consistently low.

hashtag
AWS Outposts ;

  • Hybrid Cloud : business that keep an on-premises infrastructure alongside a cloud infrastructure

  • AWS Outposts are 'server racks' that offers the same AWS infrastructure, services, APIs & tools to build your own applications on-premises just as in the cloud

  • AWS will setup and manage 'outposts racks' within your on-premises infrastructure and you can start leveraging AWS services on-premises

  • Benefits : -> Low-latency access to on-premises systems -> Local data processing -> Data residency -> Easier migration from on-premises to the cloud -> Fully managed service.

hashtag
AWS WaveLenght ;

  • WaveLenght Zones are infrastructure deployments, embedded within the telecommunications providers, datacenters at the edge of the 5G networks.

  • Brings AWS services to the edge of the 5G networks

  • Ultra-low latency applications through 5G server

  • traffic doesn't leave Communication Server Provider's (CSP) network

  • High-bandwidth and secure connection to the parent AWS Region.

  • Use cases : Smart cities, ML-assisted diagnostics, AR/VR..

hashtag
Global Applications in AWS - Summary

hashtag
Global DNS - Route53

  • Great to route users to the closest deployment with least latency

  • Great for disaster recovery strategies

Global Content Delivery Network (CDN) - CloudFront :

  • Replicate part of your application to AWS Edge Locations - decrease latency.

  • Cache common requests - improved user experience and decreased latency

hashtag
S3 Transfer Acceleration :

  • Accelerate global uploads & downloads into Amazon S3.

hashtag
AWS Global Accelerator :

  • Improve global application availability and performance using the AWS global network.

hashtag
AWS Outposts :

  • Deploy Outposts Racks in your own Data Centers to extend AWS services.

hashtag
AWS WaveLenght :

  • Bring AWS services to the edge of the 5G networks

  • Ultra-low latency applications
