Networking and Content Delivery
AWS services for networking, connectivity, and content delivery.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a suite of networking and content delivery services that enable you to design, build, and manage your cloud infrastructure for optimal performance and reliability. Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) forms the foundation of AWS networking, allowing you to create isolated networks with complete control over IP addressing, subnets, routing, and security. Within your VPC, you can launch resources like EC2 instances into subnets while controlling inbound/outbound traffic with Security Groups and Network ACLs. AWS offers connectivity options to integrate your VPC with on-premises networks: - AWS Direct Connect: Dedicated private connections to AWS - VPN connections: Secure connections over the internet - AWS Transit Gateway: Connects VPCs and on-premises networks through a central hub For content delivery, Amazon CloudFront is a global Content Delivery Network (CDN) that speeds up distribution of static and dynamic web content by caching copies at edge locations worldwide. This reduces latency for users and handles traffic spikes efficiently. Route 53 is AWS's scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service for domain registration and routing internet traffic to your resources. It offers various routing policies like latency-based, geolocation, and failover routing. AWS Global Accelerator improves availability and performance by directing traffic through AWS's global network infrastructure rather than the public internet. For load balancing, AWS provides: - Elastic Load Balancing (ELB): Distributes incoming traffic across multiple targets - Application Load Balancer: For HTTP/HTTPS traffic - Network Load Balancer: For TCP/UDP traffic - Gateway Load Balancer: For network appliances Other important networking services include AWS PrivateLink for private connectivity, AWS App Mesh for service mesh, and AWS Cloud Map for service discovery. These services work together to create scalable, secure, and high-performing network architectures in the cloud.
