AWS edge networking services securely transmit your internet-facing data while delivering improved latency worldwide. By moving traffic off the internet and behind the defenses of the world's most secure cloud provider, you can limit your exposure to attack by encrypting data, removing network hops, and controlling application access. Networking services sit at AWS global edge locations, connected by dedicated 100 Gbps redundant fiber, to deliver data with ultra- low latency day in and day out. Using AWS edge networking services, you can improve performance, security, and availability, reduce cost, and better monitor network traffic. How AWS helps you scale for always-on availability • Customizable and secure content delivery networking: Customize web content delivery using Amazon CloudFront to improve latency and protect applications. Amazon CloudFront is a fast content delivery network (CDN) that accelerates the response times of Internet-facing applications and APIs to consumers all over the world. Its edge compute capabilities integrate with security services AWS Shield and AWS Web Application Firewall (AWS WAF), enabling you to build comprehensive perimeter protection to defend against DDoS and bad bot attacks. • Accelerate global network traffic: Limited bandwidth on public networks and spikes in network traffic result in slowed or lost connections and dropped data. Solve this issue with AWS Global Accelerator, which moves network traffic onto congestion-free private network infrastructure provided by AWS and improves network traffic performance by up to 60 percent. • Optimize traffic management and routing: End-user latency and failed connections often stem from inefficiencies in the routing of network traffic between devices and your applications. Amazon Route 53 solves the issue by translating website names into IP addresses to foster internet communication. AWS Global Accelerator further increases performance and simplifies traffic routing by providing two static customer-facing IPs. On the backend, AWS Global Accelerator allows traffic rerouting along the AWS backbone without customer- facing address changes or downtime. • Continually reduce costs: Delivering data through edge locations reduces your application costs by limiting and consolidating requests. All data transferred to AWS edge locations from an AWS resource incurs no additional charge. All AWS edge networking services are "pay as you go," with no upfront costs and no minimum usage. Customers willing to make a long-term commitment can sign up for self-service discounts, such as the CloudFront Security Savings Bundle. 14
