Introduction As generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) continues to evolve, the demand for more powerful and efficient computing resources grows, along with the need to manage exponentially increasing amounts of data. Datasets used for training generative AI models are typically measured in terabytes (TB), orders of magnitude bigger than traditional machine learning (ML) datasets whose […]

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has found widespread adoption in the satellite communication and aerospace sectors, serving not only as a platform for modernizing their overall IT infrastructure but also for delivering network connectivity solutions. One prominent example showcases how a leading satellite and aerospace company, Thales Avionics, used AWS to build a virtual data center […]

Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) is a VPC feature that allows you to plan, track, and monitor IP addresses for your AWS workloads. Until now, VPC IPAM allowed you to allocate CIDR blocks and monitor them at the VPC level. With a recent feature enhancement in VPC IPAM, you can now manage CIDR allocations […]

Introduction Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) use Network Address Translation (NAT) so resources in private subnets can communicate with resources in the internet, other VPCs, on-premises networks, or even the same VPC using the NAT Gateway’s IP address. Amazon VPC NAT Gateway is managed by AWS and addresses this need while providing redundancy, scalability, […]

NetDevOps orchestrates and automates network changes to shorten the network delivery lifecycle, treats the network as code to allow for version control, and tests changes to make sure of quality and stability. This increased speed helps organizations better serve their customers and compete more effectively in the market. The post NetDevOps: A modern approach to AWS […]

Many network appliances define idle connection timeout to terminate connections after an inactivity period. For example, appliances like NAT Gateway, Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) Endpoints, and Network Load Balancer (NLB) currently have a fixed idle timeout of 350 seconds. Packets sent after the idle timeout expired aren’t delivered to the destination. Some applications or […]

For many customers, governing and auditing IP address allocation for at-scale networks is a complex, time-consuming, and potentially error-prone task. This is because application workloads are rapidly migrating to the cloud. Traditionally, network administrators have resorted to using combinations of spreadsheets, home-grown tools, and scripts to track address assignments across multiple accounts, Amazon Virtual Private […]

In June 2021, we announced our continued commitment and innovation towards the enablement of IPv6 on AWS. Today, we take a monumental step forward with the ability to create an IPv6-only architecture on AWS. With this launch, Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) now allows you to create IPv6-only subnets in your dual-stack VPCs and launch […]

AWS customers regularly use the ability to reference another security group in the same Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), or a peered VPC in the same Region, as a dynamic reference. This ability allows customers who have highly ephemeral workloads to adopt the practice of least privilege more easily. We do not currently support security […]

Introduction There are several factors that contribute towards your overall costs incurred in AWS cloud. When it comes to networking, many customers ask about data transfer charges. You pay a Data Transfer charge when you send data out from AWS to Internet, between AWS Regions, or between Availability Zones (AZ). Today, there are multiple ways […]
