AWS Cloud WAN is a managed service used to build wide area networks that connect data centers, branch offices, and Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) using AWS global infrastructure. When building with Cloud WAN, many organizations employ next-generation firewalls (NGFW) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) to inspect network traffic as part of a defense-in-depth strategy. […]

In this post, we demonstrate how to implement tag-based invalidation in Amazon CloudFront with Lambda@Edge, Amazon DynamoDB, AWS Lambda, and AWS Step Functions. This post provides you with a reference architecture and sample code artifacts to help you deploy and test tag-based invalidation. Let’s look at some use cases where tagging pages together might be […]

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, […]

Introduction Customers use multi-region architecture to achieve application resiliency such as Active-Active or Disaster Recovery (DR). Depending on DR strategy, customers may need to have failover from one region to the next. DR strategies are covered off in detail in a prior AWS Blog. DR strategies include either an Active/Passive or Multi-Site Active/Active approaches. Active/Passive […]

It was only just over a month ago, yet somehow it already feels like it could have been a dream. Following 4 action-packed weeks of soccer, capped by perhaps the greatest ever final of any major tournament, Lionel Messi lifted the World Cup aloft in the futuristic Lusail Stadium in Qatar. It was a World […]

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 […]

This blog is co-authored by Parrish Gamarra, Principal Network Architect, Johnson & Johnson Introduction Mergers, Acquisitions (M&A), and divestitures are part of many enterprises’ journeys, driven by evolving business goals like expanding into new geographies or to spin off a line of business. Refer to this post for checking your general readiness for M&A with […]

Introduction Worldwide, millions of customers are actively using AWS to build applications for every imaginable use case, with a variety of regions in which they can deploy infrastructure. An AWS Region is a physical location where AWS clusters data centers and operates regional services, like AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service […]

Networks have grown larger and more complex with time, but they continue to be the foundation upon which applications and services run. This critical component has demanding requirements to keep up with a high velocity application development world. How can you enable your network to deliver these requirements with confidence? By adopting NetDevOps practices. This […]

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 […]
