AWS Local Zones offer low-latency access to AWS services for customers in metropolitan areas. As Local Zones adoption increases, customers can design highly available architectures by using Local Zones. By leveraging Megaport’s Cloud Router and Virtual Cross Connects, customers can optimize east-west traffic between Local Zones, reducing latency. This enables them to build resilient, high-performance architectures with improved network connectivity between Local Zones for their applications without having to route through parent regions.

The industry is evolving rapidly, with technology advancing at an unprecedented rate to keep up with new trends. Customers are transitioning from fully private Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Networks to entirely Software Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN), leveraging the Internet extensively—a stark contrast to the approach taken a decade ago. Additionally, many customers are changing their trust model and moving towards Zero-Trust Architectures, which operate on the principle that no one, whether external or internal, is trusted by default and continuous monitoring is employed to scrutinise their behaviour.

Companies often need to securely share digital resources when collaborating, and the extranet provides a mechanism for this using cloud platforms like AWS. Alkira’s Extranet-as-a-Service (EaaS) solution enables secure global connectivity, network segmentation, NAT for overlapping IPs, and integrated security for partner access to AWS applications. Alkira reinvents networking for the cloud era and allows enterprises to build networks with cloud-like speed, agility, and scale.

Using the AWS console to manage cloud infrastructure can be convenient and user-friendly, especially for beginners or small projects. Yet, it also carries inherent challenges when used at scale. In this post, we will dive deep into how ControlMonkey can assist you with transitioning manually-created environments to an Infrastructure as Code approach, integrating seamlessly with GitOps and Hashicorp Terraform.

Cisco Duo integrates with AWS to establish and maintain zero-trust security. It helps to eliminate surface area through strict access policies, evaluate risk signals to require step-up authentication, and establish device trust through posture checks and compliance enforcement. Learn now to configure Duo’s policies that enable risk-based authentication, deploy Duo Desktop for device trust, and integrate Duo with AWS via SAML and OpenID Connect to protect AWS services and applications.

Organizations can achieve robust cloud network security by combining Arista Network Detection and Response (NDR) with AWS traffic mirroring. This provides deep packet inspection and threat monitoring without disrupting traffic flow. Arista’s AI-driven NDR platform maps the attack surface and detects threats across networks. The solution automates enabling traffic mirroring as AWS instances spin up/down, ensuring seamless security coverage in dynamic environments.

Amagi provides cloud broadcast solutions with tiered redundancy offerings to mitigate risks for broadcasters during disruptive events. Its CLOUDPORT platform supports hot, warm, and cold disaster recovery configurations spanning single/multi AWS Availability Zones and regions for varying recovery times. Exhaustive tuning, testing, and regular DR drills validate the failover capabilities aligned with broadcaster requirements for cost-effective business continuity.
