When a firewall or security appliance behind your Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) fails, what happens to the TCP connections flowing through it, and how long do those traffic interruptions last? Until today, they could hang while TCP retry mechanisms and exponential backoff ran their course, sometimes for minutes. For mission-critical applications, every second of interruption […]

As organizations embrace multicloud strategies at an accelerating pace, the ability to move workloads seamlessly between cloud providers has become essential. Yet establishing resilient, high-performance private connectivity between clouds has historically required customers to navigate complex and diverse physical infrastructure, multiple connectivity providers, and invest weeks or months of manual provisioning. Starting today, customers can […]

CloudFront Functions (CF2) lets you run lightweight code inside Amazon CloudFront Points-of-Presences (POPs) to analyze and manipulate viewer requests and responses at scale. Until now, gaining visibility into the decisions your functions made such as the result of a token validation or logging a header returned from origin required collecting the header from CloudFront Realtime […]

At re:Invent 2025 we launched AWS Network Firewall proxy in preview to gather feedback from customers before making it generally available. That feedback was clear and consistent: customers want the flexibility to use their Network Firewall, with all its existing capabilities, as an explicit proxy. Rather than managing a separate proxy product with its own security policy model, customers told us they would prefer […]

Migrating your AWS Load Balancer Controller (LBC) Ingress resources to the Gateway API by hand is tedious and error prone. You need to rewrite annotations, path rules, and TLS configuration, and a mistake can disrupt the production traffic. The Ingress-to-Gateway API migration toolkit for LBC removes that risk by giving you a guided, validated path […]

Running an internet-facing application means estimating and managing costs across many services and features: content delivery, web application firewall (WAF), DNS, logging, and DDoS protection. Each has its own pricing model, its own metering, its own line item on the bill. Traffic from successful launches, organic growth, and AI bots can spike without warning, increasing […]

Today, Amazon CloudFront is launching Invalidation by Cache Tag, a new capability that transforms how developers manage cached content. With this feature, you can invalidate groups of related cached objects using a single invalidation request, regardless of URL structure—making cache management more precise, efficient, and developer-friendly. In this post, we discuss the benefits of this […]

AWS Client VPN now supports native attachment to AWS Transit Gateway, eliminating the need for a dedicated hosting VPC. This post walks through how to configure the integration, preserve source IP addresses end-to-end without SNAT, and centralize remote access across multiple VPCs and on-premises networks in a multi-account architecture.

AWS and Lumen simplify enterprise cloud connectivity with AWS Interconnect – last mile and Lumen Cloud Interconnect This post was jointly written by Rob Kennedy, Vice President of Network Services, Amazon Web Services, and Scott Yow, Senior Vice President of Product, Lumen Technologies For decades, the cloud and the network connecting to it have operated […]
