Networking Flashcards
Networking falls under this Pillar of AWS
Content Delivery
Allows you to define and provision an isolated network for your AWS resources
Amazon VPC
Service that connect VPCs and on-premise networks
AWS Transit Gateway
Provides private connectivity between VPCs and on-premise applications
AWS Private Link
Allows you to host your own managed DNS.
Route 53
Automatic distribution of network traffic across a pool of resources
Elastic Load Balancing
Directs traffic through the AWS global network to improve global application performance.
AWS Global Accelerator
Allows you to securely deliver data, videos, and applications to customers globally with low latency and high transfer speeds.
Amazon CloudFront
Bridge between your computer and the technology used to connect to other computers
Network Interface.
How do you configure a network
Set up an IP Address Range,
What analogy is good to use for an IP Address Range.
Gated Community
Computers can only talk to other computers in the same community
Typical local network gives us 4 sets of numbers 0 to 254 separated by a . (dot)
IP version 4
Service that converts words - acloud.guru into an IP address
DNS
A kind of database that IP addresses map to which domains
DNS
You need this when you create a record or mapping between IP address and domain names
Routing Policy
Determines where a user is directed when they try to access your website via the domain name.
Route 53 will reply with the IP address of your web server
Simple Routing Policy
Policy where you can provide multiple IP addresses to spread your load to.
Weighted
The weight determines h determines this
How much priority an IP address gets versus another.
How is the weight represented in numbers
between zero and 255
Zero weight
No traffic
If you have 3 IP addresses weighted at 100 each
Traffic will be spread evenly among them
Allows you to reply with a certain IP address depending on where in the world the request is coming from
Geolocation Policy
Replies with the IP address of AWS resource that have the lowest latency, or the fastest response time to the user,
Latency Policy
You have the ability to point traffic at a single IP address, say a server that hosts your website, but if that server goes offline
Failover policy
