AWS Global Infrastructure (Section 2) Where does all this cloud Computing Run?

(REGIONS)

(REGIONS) Every region has at least 2 AZs

AWS serves over ________ active customers in more than _______ countries

A Million & 190

Amazon CloudFront

A content delivery network offered by Amazon Web Services. Content delivery networks provide a globally-distributed network of proxy servers which cache content, such as web videos or other bulky media, more locally to consumers, thus improving access speed for downloading the content.

What is an Availability Zones (AZ)

A datacenter owned and operated by AWS in which AWS services run

Amazon Route 53

A scalable and highly available Domain Name System service. Designed to give developers and businesses a reliable and cost effective way to route end users to Internet applications by translating human readable names like www.example.com into the numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other.

API gateway

API management tool that sits between a client and a collection of backend services. It also acts as a reverse proxy to accept all application programming interface (API) calls, aggregate the various services required to fulfill them, and return the appropriate result.

S3 Transfer Acceleration traffic and API Gateway endpoint traffic also use the _________ This allows for _________ no matter where the end user is geographically located.

AWS Edge Network & Low Latency

AWS GovCloud Regions

Allow customers to host sensitive controls unclassified information and other types of regulated workloads.

(Edge Locations) These locations serve requested for _________ & _________. Requests going to either of these services will be touted to the nearest edge location automatically

CloudFront & Route 53

Edge Location

Data center owned by a trusted partner of AWS or maybe owned by AWS themselves.

Multi AZ

Distributing your instances across multiple AZs allows fallover configuration for handling requests when one goes down

(AZ)

Each region has at least 2 AZs

Customers can architect secure cloud solutions that comply with

FedRAMP High baseline DOJ's criminal justice information systems (CJIS) Security Policy U.S. International traffic in arms regulations (ITAR) Export administration regulations (EAR) Department of defense (DoD) cloud computing security requirements guide

What is Edge locations it's all about

Getting data fast or uploading Data fast to AWS

Low Latency

Lower latency refers to a minimal delay in the processing of computer data over a network connection. The lower the processing latency, the closer it approaches real-time access. A lower latency network connection is one that experiences very small delay times.

Regions

Physical location in the world with multiple availability zones

Every region is _________ from and independent of every other region in terms of location, power, and water supply

Physically isolated

What is S3 Transfer Acceleration? (S3TA)

Reduces the variability in Internet routing, congestion and speeds that can affect transfers, and logically shortens the distance to S3 for remote applications.

AZs are represented by a

Region Code, followed by a letter identifier (us-east-1a

What are the 3 types of infrastructure

Regions Availability Zones (AZ) Edge Locations

The Latency between AZs is

Sub 10 milliseconds ( <10ms )

GovCloud Regions are only accessible to

U.S. entitled and root account holders who pass a screening process

AWS EDGE LOCATIONS

The place where the data's are cached to reduce the latency to the end users. They are located in the major cities around the world . These infrastructure are used to provide only the services such as cloundfront, lambda, etc. It can not be used for the main infrastructure such as S3, EC2, VPC, EBS etc.

Proxy Server

This Server acts as a gateway between you and the internet. It's an intermediary server separating end users from the websites they browse. They provide varying levels of functionality, security, and privacy depending on your use case, needs, or company policy.

Higher Throughput

Throughput refers to how much data can be transferred from one location to another in a given amount of time.

Why are they expanding global infrastructure?

To help customers achieve lower latency and higher throughput

The region where you see all your billing information is

US-EAST -1

AWS largest region is

US-East (which is north Virginia)

New Services almost always become available first in

US-East (which is north Virginia)

GovCloud Regions are only operated by

employees who are U.S. citizens on U.S. soil

Not all sevices are available in all _____

regions
