Module_03_AWS Global Infrastructure

AWS Global Infrastructure is organized into Regions and Availability Zones (AZs), with each Region comprising multiple AZs that are physically separate and designed for redundancy. Local Zones and AWS Wavelength enhance service delivery by placing resources closer to end-users for low-latency applications. Each Region and AZ is independent, allowing for data control and compliance, while enabling efficient resource management and application resilience.

Infrastructure
AWS Global Infrastructure
• The AWS infrastructure is built around
Regions and Availability Zones (AZs).
• An AWS Region is a physical location in
the world where AWS have multiple
AZs.
• AZs consist of one or more discrete data
centers, each with redundant power,
networking, and connectivity, housed in
separate facilities.
• Each region is completely independent.
Each Availability Zone is isolated, but
the Availability Zones in a region are
connected through low-latency links.
Regions
• A region is a geographical area.
• Each region consists of 3 or more availability zones.
• Each Amazon Region is designed to be completely isolated from the other Amazon Regions.
• Each AWS Region has multiple Availability Zones and data centers.
• You can replicate data within a region and between regions using private or public Internet
connections.
• You retain complete control and ownership over the region in which your data is physically located,
making it easy to meet regional compliance and data residency requirements.
• Note that there is a charge for data transfer between regions.
• When you launch an EC2 instance, you must select an AMI that’s in the same region. If the AMI is in
another region, you can copy the AMI to the region you’re using.
• Regions and Endpoints:
• When you work with an instance using the command line interface or API actions, you must
specify its regional endpoint.
• To reduce data latency in your applications, most Amazon Web Services offer a regional endpoint
to make your requests.
• An endpoint is a URL that is the entry point for a web service.
• For example, https://dynamodb.us-west-2.amazonaws.com is an entry point for the Amazon
Availability Zones
• Availability Zones are physically separate and isolated from each other.
• AZs span one or more data centers and have direct, low-latency, high throughput, and redundant
network connections between each other.
• Each AZ is designed as an independent failure zone.
• When you launch an instance, you can select an Availability Zone or let AWS choose one for you.
• If you distribute your EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones and one instance fails, you can
design your application so that an instance in another Availability Zone can handle requests.
• You can also use Elastic IP addresses to mask the failure of an instance in one Availability Zone by
rapidly remapping the address to an instance in another Availability Zone.
• An Availability Zone is represented by a region code followed by a letter identifier; for example, us-
east-1a.
• To ensure that resources are distributed across the Availability Zones for a region, AWS independently
map Availability Zones to names for each AWS account.
• For example, the Availability Zone us-east-1a for your AWS account might not be the same location
as us-east-1a for another AWS account.
• To coordinate Availability Zones across accounts, you must use the AZ ID, which is a unique and
consistent identifier for an Availability Zone.
• AZs are physically separated within a typical metropolitan region and are in lower risk flood plains.
• AZs use discrete UPS and onsite backup generation facilities and are fed via different grids from
independent facilities.
• AZs are all redundantly connected to multiple tier-1 transit providers.
Local Zones
• AWS Local Zones place compute, storage, database, and other select AWS services
closer to end-users.
• With AWS Local Zones, you can easily run highly demanding applications that
require single-digit millisecond latencies to your end-users.
• Each AWS Local Zone location is an extension of an AWS Region where you can run
your latency sensitive applications using AWS services such as Amazon Elastic
Compute Cloud, Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, Amazon Elastic Block Store,
Amazon File Storage, and Amazon Elastic Load Balancing in geographic proximity
to end-users.
• AWS Local Zones provide a high-bandwidth, secure connection between local
workloads and those running in the AWS Region, allowing you to seamlessly
connect to the full range of in-region services through the same APIs and tool sets.
AWS Wavelength
• AWS Wavelength enables developers to build applications that deliver
single-digit millisecond latencies to mobile devices and end-users.
• AWS developers can deploy their applications to Wavelength Zones,
AWS infrastructure deployments that embed AWS compute and
storage services within the telecommunications providers’
datacenters at the edge of the 5G networks, and seamlessly access
the breadth of AWS services in the region.
• AWS Wavelength brings AWS services to the edge of the 5G network,
minimizing the latency to connect to an application from a mobile
device.
