Introduction Today Amazon Web Services (AWS) is enhancing subnet management capabilities of Network Load Balancer (NLB). NLBs were previously restricted to only adding subnets in new Availability Zones (AZs), and they now support full subnet management, including removal of subnets, matching the capabilities of Application Load Balancer (ALB). This enhancement offers organizations greater control over […]

In today’s world, organizations are increasingly looking to migrate their on-premises infrastructure to the cloud to take advantage of scalability, cost-effectiveness, and agility offered by cloud. One critical component of many enterprise architectures is the load balancer, which distributes incoming traffic across multiple servers. If you’re considering migrating your on-premise hardware load balancers to AWS, it’s […]

Network incidents can occur at times that may impact latency in AWS Regions , Availability Zones (AZs), and individual infrastructure components, such as server hardware. Users can also experience more latency because of the introduction of network appliances in their traffic path. This post explains some of the best practices that allow you to identify […]

Configuring Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) zonal autoshift observer notifications can be an enabler on your journey to architecting and operating resilient workloads on AWS, a key focus of the reliability pillar of AWS Well-Architected. AWS provides an array of design principles and services to guide users in building highly available and fault-tolerant architectures. A […]

This post was co-authored by: George Oakes, Senior Specialist Solutions Architect; Wafa Adeel, Senior Product Manager; and Devin Taylor, Senior Software Engineer Overview AWS PrivateLink offers a secure and simple way of sharing and accessing services across VPCs and accounts. All traffic stays on AWS network without going over the public internet. Until now the […]

In this post, we explore how you can use AWS PrivateLink support for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) resources to facilitate private, secure, and efficient connectivity to shared resources across VPC and account boundaries, as well as from on-premises environments. We also review common use cases and implementation best practices for implementing this new AWS PrivateLink […]

Many Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers look to extend their Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks into the cloud. MPLS networks offer reliable and performance-optimized routes for data, making them a preferred choice for enterprise connectivity. AWS Direct Connect further enhances this by providing a dedicated network link from an organization’s on-premises networks to AWS. This […]

Introduction Large enterprises have a centralized networking team for configuring and managing baseline DNS settings across a multi-account, multi-VPC environment. Amazon Route 53 Profiles provides an ability to simplify management of DNS configuration across multiple VPCs and AWS accounts. Before this feature, users needed to perform the association of Private Hosted Zones (PHZ) and Route […]

At AWS, security is the top priority, and we are committed to providing you with the necessary guidance to fortify the security posture of your environment. In 2018, we introduced built-in authentication support for Application Load Balancers (ALBs), enabling secure user authentication as they access applications. This feature allows developers to offload the authentication responsibility […]

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 […]
