Blue/green deployment is a widely used deployment technique in software development aimed at minimizing downtime and risks associated with introducing new code. The strategy involves concurrently running two identical environments, namely blue and green, and directing traffic between them as necessary. This allows you to have uninterrupted delivery of new features and updates, with no […]

In this post, we demonstrate how you can use a same domain policy with Amazon CloudFront. Using this method, you eliminate the need for enabling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), which results in improved performance for Single-Page Applications (SPA). Over the years, SPA frameworks such as ReactJs and AngularJs have become a popular method for developing […]

Introduction AWS Verified Access enables customers to provide VPN-less, secure access to their corporate applications. We released it as a preview during AWS re:Invent 2022. Today, we are happy to announce that this service is now generally available (GA). Built using AWS Zero Trust principles, customers can use Verified Access to reduce the risks associated […]

Customers frequently use Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) load balancers and Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups (ASG) to build scalable, resilient workloads. When configured correctly, Amazon ELB health checks help make your workload more resilient to failures in your workload components behind the load balancer. However, you may need to make tradeoffs for handling different failure […]

Organizations today use many ways to drive traffic to their websites and applications. This is important for new feature launches, marketing campaigns, advertising, and so on. One common approach uses HTTP/S redirects, where you send a user from one domain, or Uniform Resource Locator (URL), to another. Redirects are incredibly useful tools when moving websites, […]

This post provides a solution to enhance the Amazon CloudFront origin security of on-premises web servers by automating the AWS IP prefix update process for some network firewalls. CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service that securely delivers data, videos, applications, and APIs to customers globally with low latency and high transfer speeds—all within […]

Introduction Since its launch in 2020, AWS Transit Gateway Connect has provided a native way for you to connect third-party SD-WAN appliances to an AWS Transit Gateway. Connect attachments use Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to exchange routes between the Transit Gateway and an appliance. Prior to Transit Gateway Connect, […]

Organizations have been adopting IPv6 in their IPv4 environments to solve IP address exhaustion or meet compliance requirements. Since IPv6 isn’t backward compatible with IPv4, several mechanisms can facilitate communication between hosts that support one or both protocols. One common way is by using dual stack deployments. For architectures where dual stack deployments aren’t the […]

As organizations grow, they must often serve geographically dispersed users with low latency, prompting them to have a distributed global infrastructure in the cloud. In this article, we describe how to deploy global API endpoints to reduce latency for end-users while increasing an application’s availability. By using the AWS Global Network and Amazon CloudFront to deploy applications into multiple […]

Customers often ask about hybrid security inspection architecture patterns for latency-sensitive applications, where they want to run their workloads inside of AWS Local Zones, to perform security inspection but without compromising latency. In this post, we share some hybrid inspection architectures with traffic flows, where both workloads and security inspection appliances run inside of the […]
