AWS Local Zones
Explore how AWS Local Zones extend AWS Regions by placing compute and storage resources closer to users for single-digit millisecond latency. Understand their role in hybrid cloud setups, how to configure Local Zones using VPC subnets, and real-world applications like Netflix's content creation. Gain insight into benefits such as improved performance for latency-sensitive workloads and options for disaster recovery through geographic distribution.
We'll cover the following...
AWS Local Zones is an AWS infrastructure deployment that places AWS infrastructure closer to densely populated areas, industries, and IT hubs. Local Zones enable us to run applications that require single-digit millisecond latencies to end-users or on-premises installations. Each Local Zone has its own internet connection and supports AWS Direct Connect, making it possible to serve applications that demand low-latency connectivity.
How do AWS Local Zones work?
Configuring Local Zones involves creating a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in our parent AWS Region and extending it to include subnets in Local Zones. These subnets become part of our VPC, allowing us to deploy resources such as EC2 instances ...
