As organizations continue to roll out cloud-connected Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, the need for accurate and reliable time synchronization has become increasingly critical. Although Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides the Amazon Time Sync Service for basic Network Time Protocol (NTP) needs, some IoT scenarios need a custom NTP solution. For example, users want to serve many IoT […]

In the dynamic landscape of web applications and APIs, ensuring fast, reliable, and secure access for all your customers is crucial. With traditional implementations, though, users of global applications often face latency and reliability challenges because of delays and uneven performance due to the complexity of the global internet infrastructure. AWS Global Accelerator enables you […]

Users everywhere expect stable, consistent, and high-performing applications, regardless of where an application is hosted. However, end users often experience variability and congestion over the public internet, which can be especially problematic when users are geographically distant from the application. These issues can be a major obstacle to providing your users with the online experience […]

Maintaining ownership of IP addresses while deploying resources in multiple accounts can lead to underutilized IP address ranges. AWS Global Accelerator supports cross-account sharing for bring your own IP addresses (BYOIP), which enables you to share IP address ranges with multiple AWS accounts. After you provision an IP address range with Global Accelerator using BYOIP, […]

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 […]

AWS Global Accelerator now offers cross-account support that lets you use a single accelerator to route traffic across multiple AWS accounts. With cross-account support for AWS Global Accelerator, you can select application endpoints behind a single accelerator, even when the endpoints are located in different AWS accounts. In this blog, learn the benefits of using […]

AWS Global Accelerator now supports client IP address preservation with Network Load Balancer endpoints. This feature allows you to maintain the source IP address of the original client for packets that arrive at Network Load Balancers configured as Global Accelerator endpoints. In this blog post, we discuss use cases and benefits for using Global Accelerator […]

AWS Global Accelerator now offers dual-stack accelerators that let you route both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances as endpoints, in addition to Application Load Balancers. In this post, we describe the benefits of using dual-stack accelerators with IPv6 EC2 endpoints, and go through a step-by-step guide for adding […]

In this post, we provide recommendations to improve network performance on AWS and hybrid networks. In today’s enterprise networking environment, it is becoming common for customers to have multi-gigabit connectivity to AWS either through AWS Direct Connect or over the Internet. Although network bandwidth is fundamental, several other factors come into play for network performance, […]

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, […]
