Introduction Customers use multi-region architecture to achieve application resiliency such as Active-Active or Disaster Recovery (DR). Depending on DR strategy, customers may need to have failover from one region to the next. DR strategies are covered off in detail in a prior AWS Blog. DR strategies include either an Active/Passive or Multi-Site Active/Active approaches. Active/Passive […]

As organizations grow, they must often serve geographically dispersed users with low latency, prompting them to have a distributed global infrastructure in the cloud. In this article, we describe how to deploy global API endpoints to reduce latency for end-users while increasing an application’s availability. By using the AWS Global Network and Amazon CloudFront to deploy applications into multiple […]

We’ll start by outlining how AWS services provide reliability using control planes and data planes, then share high-level design principles for creating a failover mechanism. Finally, we’ll explain the features of Route 53 that make your DR approach more effective.

In this post, we’ll discuss the considerations, recommendations, and approach for migrating AWS accounts between AWS Organizations from a networking perspective. We’ll explain the behavior of AWS networking resources when AWS accounts are moved between Organizations. We’ll also analyze the behavior from different viewpoints including service availability, management and governance, as well as commercial and operations. […]

Security is top priority at AWS. Cybersecurity and digital risk management are the primary considerations of customers when ensuring that security and trust are always in place for a secure data and cloud infrastructure. These concerns are even more critical for public internet facing applications, which are accessed using a public domain. In AWS Cloud, […]

Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable cloud Domain Name System (DNS) web service. Route 53 provides you with the ability to manage traffic to your public domains globally through a variety of routing types, including latency-based routing, geolocation, geoproximity, and weighted routing – all of which can be combined with DNS failover […]

Introduction The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the most critical components for almost any network as every service relies on a functional DNS service. Amazon Route 53 Resolver (sometimes referred to as “AmazonProvidedDNS” or the “.2/+2 resolver”) provides a highly available and scalable DNS service that customers have come to rely upon for their recursive DNS […]

Introduction In this article, I will walk you through the steps to configure Amazon API Gateway in combination with AWS Global Accelerator to present Internet-facing API via static IP addresses to end users. This design addresses the need for static IP safelisting and also provides additional performance benefits to end users by sending user’s traffic […]

Introduction There are many services that help you configure network security within your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), including security groups (SGs), network access control lists (network ACLs), and the AWS Network Firewall. These services inspect and filter network traffic, but they do not apply to DNS queries provided by Route 53 Resolver, potentially allowing […]

China is an important market for global companies. Both enterprises and startups conducting or expanding business globally are looking for ways to tap into the growing user market in China. To help accelerate the customer cloud journey and help them move quickly into the new markets, AWS China (Beijing) Region was launched in 2016, followed […]
