Networking best practices for generative AI on AWS
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 […]
How to achieve DNS high availability with Route 53 Resolver endpoints
This post assumes a certain level of technical knowledge, including familiarity with DNS terminology, Wireshark, and Amazon Route 53 Resolver endpoints. Introduction The Domain Name System (DNS) is a critical service underpinning nearly the entire internet. As nearly every application begins with DNS resolution, a highly available and performant DNS architecture is crucial for application […]
Automating the admission of virtual private clouds to AWS Cloud WAN networks
In this blog post, we present an augmented approach of managing AWS Cloud WAN segments in a secure, scalable, and on-demand way. When your organization increases the number of AWS accounts and AWS Regions in use, operational and security complexities related with admitting new user-created virtual private clouds (Amazon VPCs) to the network also increase—from […]
Preserving client IP address with Proxy protocol v2 and Network Load Balancer
When a load balancer or proxy cannot preserve the client’s original IP address, it may rewrite the IP address or use its own IP address for routing purposes. In this scenario, common practices such as inserting the original IP address into the request headers (for example, X-Forwarded-For) or utilizing Proxy protocol are widely used to […]
How to identify website performance bottlenecks by measuring time to first byte latency and using Server-Timing header
While website performance issues are a common occurrence, pinpointing their root causes can be a challenging task. In this post, you will learn how to simplify the performance troubleshooting process by unlocking the potential of the Server-Timing header. This header allows backend components to communicate timing metrics and other insights relevant to performance monitoring in […]
