For cloud users, evaluating data transfer services can be complex, especially when the internal engineering that manages security and delivers high availability and low latency is often abstracted. We are starting a series of posts intended to demystify AWS Data Transfer services and to clarify exactly what Amazon Web Services (AWS) users get when they […]

In today’s data-driven landscape, the efficient transfer of large datasets to and from Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is a critical piece of an enterprise’s cloud strategy. Common business use cases that need frequent transferring of large data sets include cloud-based data lakes that depend on receiving data from various sources. These sources often […]

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 […]

Today, we released the CloudFront Hosting Toolkit, an open source command line interface (CLI) tool to help you deploy fast and secure front-ends in the cloud. Install the CloudFront Hosting Toolkit CLI through npm, run two commands, and CloudFront Hosting Toolkit CLI automatically creates the deployment pipeline and infrastructure needed to build, deploy, and serve your front-end […]

Traffic Mirroring is an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) feature you can use to copy network traffic from an elastic network interface of an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance and send it to a target storage service for analysis. You can use it for content inspection, threat monitoring, network performance monitoring, and troubleshooting. Through […]

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 […]

In today’s digital-first business environment with a globally distributed customer base, it becomes important to adopt an architecture that helps customers deliver digital assets to end-users with the lowest possible latency based on the geo-proximity of assets to the end user. Companies with digital assets stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) commonly configure the traffic to be […]

In this two-part blog series, you will learn how to use email addresses and domain names for user authentication. With this method, you restrict credentials-free user access to a static website. In this second part of the blog series, you will learn how to implement the authorization mechanism. In the previous blog post, you learnt […]

AWS PrivateLink for Amazon S3 enables on-premises applications to privately and securely access Amazon S3 over AWS Direct Connect private virtual interface or AWS Site to Site VPN. The Interface VPC Endpoints for Amazon S3 allow security administrators to control which users can access which data in S3 from on premises and cross-Region using their […]
