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 […]

Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) is a VPC feature that allows you to plan, track, and monitor IP addresses for your AWS workloads. Until now, VPC IPAM allowed you to allocate CIDR blocks and monitor them at the VPC level. With a recent feature enhancement in VPC IPAM, you can now manage CIDR allocations […]

Introduction Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) use Network Address Translation (NAT) so resources in private subnets can communicate with resources in the internet, other VPCs, on-premises networks, or even the same VPC using the NAT Gateway’s IP address. Amazon VPC NAT Gateway is managed by AWS and addresses this need while providing redundancy, scalability, […]

Have you ever wondered why your Elastic IP (EIP) count is growing, and what’s behind the “ElasticIP:IdleAddress” line item on your AWS bill? This could be because there is an hourly charge for EIP addresses that are not associated with a running instance, when an EIP is associated with a stopped instance, or when there […]

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, […]

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 […]

NetDevOps orchestrates and automates network changes to shorten the network delivery lifecycle, treats the network as code to allow for version control, and tests changes to make sure of quality and stability. This increased speed helps organizations better serve their customers and compete more effectively in the market. The post NetDevOps: A modern approach to AWS […]

Customers frequently use Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) load balancers and Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups (ASG) to build scalable, resilient workloads. When configured correctly, Amazon ELB health checks help make your workload more resilient to failures in your workload components behind the load balancer. However, you may need to make tradeoffs for handling different failure […]
