In 2020, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) announced new network performance metrics for EC2 instances made available using ENA driver and Amazon CloudWatch agent. We covered the launch in this post. These network performance metrics give customers visibility into the number of packets queued or dropped when an instance’s networking allowances, such as Network […]

Observability is critical for operating any system. It should tell whether the system is functioning correctly, provide insights in user experience, notify when issues occur, and help to locate the root cause. However, building an observable video streaming system can be a challenge for customers as it requires collecting, correlating, and analyzing data from several […]

In December 2019, we announced our first Local Zone in Los Angeles. As a refresher, AWS Local Zones are a type of infrastructure deployment that place compute, storage, database, and other AWS services close to large population, industry, and IT locations. Local Zones extend the capabilities of an AWS Region – what we called “parent” […]

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) Flow Logs helps you understand network traffic patterns on AWS by providing network telemetry data about the IP traffic flowing to and from ENIs in your VPC. It lets you perform numerous analytics tasks, such as diagnosing overly restrictive security group rules, monitoring traffic that is reaching an instance, […]

In this post we provide a regional solution for controlling outbound internet access to 1000s of Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) using AWS Fargate and AWS PrivateLink. It removes the need to manage any proxy servers or to provide Layer 3 connectivity between your VPCs. It also provides an end-to-end deployment pipeline with a simple, […]

Amazon CloudFront is a global content delivery network that securely delivers applications, websites, videos, and APIs to viewers across the globe in milliseconds. Using CloudFront, customers can access different types of origin services to suit their use cases. One of the performant architectures customers adopt is to use Amazon S3 as the origin to host […]

Any web application using Amazon CloudFront benefits from the inherent high availability of this AWS service. It’s a globally distributed network that is immune to local hardware failures or network congestion. Furthermore, it’s built on top of the AWS global network, which provides better isolation from the public internet. Finally, it’s designed with various advanced […]

Large enterprises often deploy workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using multiple accounts. This helps isolate workloads, manage permissions more easily, and simplifies cost allocation. However, managing a multi-account environment can make your network topology more complex and requires additional monitoring and automation. At Repsol, a global multi-energy company present throughout the entire value chain, […]

As enterprises move to the Cloud, having a reliable network connection to their on-premises data centers is fundamental. In this post, I show how to monitor your AWS Direct Connect links and initiate remediation (including automatic failover) when degradation in end-to-end path quality (packet loss, high latency) is detected. Multiple Direct Connect links at separate […]

Context IoT solutions today are both complex and business critical. At the same time, testing them thoroughly proves difficult because of the need to apply conditions of load, network, sensor behavior, and others. To address these, “Doppelio” – a SaaS-based IoT test automation solution was built as it helps alleviate IoT test limitations. It does […]
