Customers frequently use on-premises DNS infrastructure to resolve DNS queries for internal domains. In 2018, we announced Amazon Route 53 Resolver endpoints, which enable customers to integrate Route 53 with their on-premises DNS infrastructure for hybrid DNS resolution. In 2023, we improved this integration by providing customers the ability to encrypt DNS queries and responses […]

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 […]

Today, we’re announcing Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) zonal shift support for Application Load Balancers (ALB) with cross-zone load balancing enabled. This complements the support for Network Load Balancers (NLB) using cross-zone load balancing we announced previously. Now you can use zonal shift with both NLBs and ALBs, with or without cross-zone load balancing configured, […]

Advanced L7 routing, authentication and authorization using IAM Policies, and deep observability are key capabilities offered by Amazon VPC Lattice. With VPC Lattice now integrated into Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), you can easily migrate service-to-service communication from using internal Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) to VPC Lattice. This allows you to benefit from VPC Lattice […]

Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a wide choice of networking services. While these services enable AWS to meet more customer needs around networking, that variety increases the number of available options to consider in making architectural decisions when designing AWS and hybrid networking infrastructure. Cost is one of the main factors that drive architectural decisions […]

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 […]

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has found widespread adoption in the satellite communication and aerospace sectors, serving not only as a platform for modernizing their overall IT infrastructure but also for delivering network connectivity solutions. One prominent example showcases how a leading satellite and aerospace company, Thales Avionics, used AWS to build a virtual data center […]

Introduction Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is the foundational networking construct used by customers to deploy workloads on AWS. To examine VPC traffic and gain insights into communication patterns, customers collect and analyze VPC Flow Logs, leveraging the capabilities and features AWS has continuously added since 2015. You can get started with Flow Logs by […]

In 2022, we launched Lambda function URLs as a simple way to configure an HTTPS endpoint for your AWS Lambda function without having to learn, configure, and operate additional services. Customers who want to improve the performance and security of their applications running with Lambda function URLs can deploy Amazon CloudFront in front of Lambda function URLs […]

Note: To learn more about Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery Controller (Route 53 ARC), we recommend you read Part 1 and Part 2 of the series, and try out the examples. It demonstrates how the ARC service allows you to coordinate failovers and the recovery readiness of your application. In this blog post, we provide […]
