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 this blog post, we discuss how to connect on-premises and external services to Amazon VPC Lattice. We will go over architectural considerations and requirements for connecting services from trusted locations (on-premises), non-trusted locations (3rd party), and across AWS Regions. Then, we provide a solution that builds out a capability to facilitate this using AWS […]

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 […]

In today’s ecosystem, Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings are primarily delivered in a low friction, service-centric approach over the Internet. These services are often mobile applications or websites delivered via a Content Delivery Network (CDN), such as Amazon CloudFront, that in turn issues requests to the backend SaaS platform. As a SaaS provider, your […]

(April 25, 2024) Clarification – AWS PrivateLink does not currently support UDP.   Application Load Balancer (ALB) is a fully managed layer 7 load balancing service that load balances incoming traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances. ALB supports advanced request routing features based on parameters like HTTP headers and methods, query string, […]

Update: As of January 27, 2022, AWS PrivateLink publishes data points to Amazon CloudWatch for your interface endpoints, Gateway Load Balancer endpoints, and endpoint services. CloudWatch enables you to retrieve statistics about those data points as an ordered set of time series data, known as metrics. As a PrivateLink Endpoint owner, you can use metrics […]

Update: On September 27th, 2021, we launched Application Load Balancer(ALB)-type target groups for Network Load Balancer (NLB). With this launch, you can register ALB as a target of NLB to forward traffic from NLB to ALB without needing to actively manage ALB IP address changes through Lambda. You can also use AWS Global Accelerator to […]

Introduction Network Load Balancer (NLB), part of the Elastic Load Balancing Family, is the flagship Layer 4 load balancer for AWS. It offers elastic capacity, high performance, and integration with many other AWS services (such as Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling). NLB is designed to handle millions of requests per second while maintaining ultra-low latency, improving […]

Many customers ask us how they can point their zone apex to their web content if it uses a DNS name rather than an IP address. This blog covers three design patterns and approaches that solve zone apex challenges with third-party DNS providers for applications hosted in AWS—and the pros and cons of each approach.

Introduction: Network Load Balancers (NLB) is the flagship Layer 4 load balancer for AWS, offering elastic capacity, high performance, and integration with AWS services like AWS Auto Scaling. NLB is designed to handle millions of requests per second while maintaining ultra-low latency, improving both availability and scalability. Network Load Balancers are widely used by all […]
