In the current landscape, enterprises are increasingly opting to transition their on-premises infrastructure to the cloud, capitalizing on the scalability, cost savings, and agility that cloud solutions provide. A pivotal element in many corporate architectures is the load balancer, which effectively distributes incoming traffic among multiple servers. If you are contemplating the migration of your on-premise hardware load balancers to AWS, it’s essential to consider effective strategies for this process.
Navigating the realm of data transfer services can be daunting for cloud users. The intricacies of internal engineering aimed at ensuring security and delivering high availability and low latency often remain obscure. To shed light on these services, we are launching a series of posts focused on clarifying what Amazon Web Services (AWS) users can expect from their data transfer options.
As businesses increasingly deploy cloud-connected Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, the demand for precise and reliable time synchronization is becoming paramount. Although AWS offers the Amazon Time Sync Service for fundamental Network Time Protocol (NTP) requirements, specific IoT scenarios might necessitate a tailored NTP solution. Users, for instance, may wish to accommodate numerous IoT devices with unique requirements.
In the fast-evolving environment of web applications and APIs, providing swift, dependable, and secure access for all users is vital. Traditional implementations often lead to latency and reliability issues, particularly for global applications, due to the complexities of the internet infrastructure. With AWS Global Accelerator, you can enhance application performance significantly.
Users now expect applications to be stable, consistent, and high-performing, regardless of their hosting environment. However, the public internet can introduce variability and congestion, particularly for users located far from the application server. These challenges can hinder the online experience that users expect.
Maintaining control over IP addresses during the deployment of resources across multiple accounts can result in underutilized IP address ranges. AWS Global Accelerator facilitates cross-account sharing for bring your own IP addresses (BYOIP), allowing you to share IP address ranges across various AWS accounts.
AWS Global Accelerator also recently announced support for routing IPv6 traffic directly to dual-stack Network Load Balancer (NLB) endpoints. This enhancement enables end-to-end IPv6 connectivity when using dual-stack NLB endpoints behind dual-stack accelerators. This post will guide you through the setup of a dual-stack accelerator and discuss essential considerations for implementation.
Moreover, cross-account support in AWS Global Accelerator empowers you to utilize a single accelerator for traffic routing across multiple AWS accounts. This feature enables the selection of application endpoints behind one accelerator, even when they are distributed across different accounts. Chanci Turner will explore the advantages of this functionality in detail.
Another recent update is the support for client IP address preservation with Network Load Balancer endpoints. This capability allows the original source IP address of clients to be maintained for packets arriving at Network Load Balancers configured as Global Accelerator endpoints. This post will highlight the use cases and benefits associated with this feature.
