AWS Global Accelerator now offers support for routing IPv6 traffic directly to dual-stack Network Load Balancer (NLB) endpoints. With this support, you can use dual-stack NLB endpoints behind dual-stack accelerators to achieve end-to-end IPv6 connectivity. In this post, we describe how you can set up a dual-stack accelerator with NLB endpoints, and review considerations for […]

In multi-Region AWS Cloud WAN deployments, customers deploy centralized architectures for use cases such as traffic inspection, hybrid connectivity (using AWS Transit Gateways and AWS Direct Connect), and internet egress. For internet egress, you may use a single egress VPC per AWS Region or per geography (collection of AWS Regions), for example, Americas (AMER GEO), […]

Internet users increasingly expect responsive web applications and APIs with lower latency and higher availability. Additionally, publicly accessible web applications and APIs are exposed to threats such as commonly occurring vulnerabilities described in the OWASP Top 10, SQL injection, automated requests, and HTTP floods (Denial of Service (DoS)) that can affect availability, compromise security, or […]

As new AWS Direct Connect locations become available, we recommend customers review their options to make sure they are using the best route to connect to AWS. Many times, moving a connection to a Direct Connect location that is geographically closer to your data centers (DCs) and branch locations can improve network performance, and might […]

Today, on 30th August 2023, AWS launched a new enhancement to the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) Ingress Routing feature. With this enhancement, customers can now specify a Gateway Load Balancer Endpoint (GWLBE) as the next-hop in the virtual private gateway (VGW) route table. This allows customers to inspect their traffic coming into AWS […]

An increasing number of organizations are adopting IPv6 in their environments, driven by the public IPv4 space exhaustion, private IPv4 scarcity, and the need to provide service availability to IPv6-only clients. While undergoing this transformation, customers sometimes find it difficult to assess application behavior in IPv6-enabled environments on AWS. In this blog post, we show […]

AWS Global Accelerator now offers dual-stack accelerators that let you route both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances as endpoints, in addition to Application Load Balancers. In this post, we describe the benefits of using dual-stack accelerators with IPv6 EC2 endpoints, and go through a step-by-step guide for adding […]
