• Caches copies of commonly requested files (static content)
• Delivers a local copy of the requested content from a nearby cache edge or
Point of Presence
• Accelerates delivery of dynamic content
• Improves application performance and scaling

 Amazon CloudFront infrastructure

Edge locations

Multiple edge locations

Regional edge caches

• Edge locations – Network of data centers

that CloudFront uses to serve popular content
quickly to customers.

• Regional edge cache – CloudFront

location that caches content that is not
popular enough to stay at an edge location.
It is located between the origin server and
the global edge location.

• Security at the edge
• Highly programmable
• Deeply integrated with AWS
• Cost-effective

Amazon CloudFront pricing

Data transfer out

• Charged for the volume of data transferred out from Amazon CloudFront edge location
to the internet or to your origin.
HTTP(S) requests
• Charged for number of HTTP(S) requests.
Invalidation requests
• No additional charge for the first 1,000 paths that are requested for invalidation each
month. Thereafter, $0.005 per path that is requested for invalidation.
Dedicated IP custom SSL
• $600 per month for each custom SSL certificate that is associated with one or more
CloudFront distributions that use the Dedicated IP version of custom SSL certificate

 • A CDN is a globally distributed
key takeaways system of caching servers that
accelerates delivery of content.

Elastic Load Balancing

Elastic Load Balancing

• Distributes incoming application

or network traffic across multiple
targets in a single Availability
Elastic Load
Zone or across multiple Balancing
Availability Zones.
• Scales your load balancer as
IP addresses
traffic to your application
Containers
changes over time. EC2 instances Lambda functions

Types of load balancers

 How Elastic Load Balancing works
• With Application Load
Balancers and Network Load
Balancers, you register
targets in target groups, and AWS Cloud
route traffic to the target Load balancer accepts
incoming traffic
groups. Availability Zone A
from clients.
Availability Zone B

• With Classic Load Balancers,

you register instances with
the load balancer. Listener checks for
Listener connection requests. Listener

Elastic Load Balancing use cases

Highly available and Containerized Elasticity

fault-tolerant applications and scalability
applications

Virtual private Hybrid environments Invoke Lambda

cloud (VPC) functions over HTTP(S)

© 2019, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 20
Activity: Elastic Load Balancing

You must support traffic to a containerized Application Load Balancer

application.

You have extremely spiky and unpredictable TCP Network Load Balancer
traffic.

You need simple load balancing with multiple Classic Load Balancer
protocols.

You need to support a static or Elastic IP address, or Network Load Balancer

an IP target outside a VPC.

You need a load balancer that can handle millions of Network Load Balancer
requests per second while maintaining low latencies.

You must support HTTPS requests. Application Load Balancer

Load balancer monitoring

• Amazon CloudWatch metrics – Used

to verify that the system is
performing as expected and creates
an alarm to initiate an action if a
metric goes outside an acceptable
range.
• Access logs – Capture detailed
information about requests sent to
your load balancer.
• AWS CloudTrail logs – Capture the
who, what, when, and where of API
interactions in AWS services.
© 2019, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 22
 • Elastic Load Balancing distributes
key takeaways incoming application or network
traffic across multiple targets in one
or more Availability Zones.
• Elastic Load Balancing supports
three types of load balancers:
• Application Load Balancer
• Network Load Balancer
• Classic Load Balancer
• ELB offers instance health checks,
security, and monitoring.

Monitoring AWS resources

To use AWS efficiently, you need insight into your AWS resources:

• How do you know when you should launch more Amazon EC2 instances?

• Is your application's performance or availability being affected by a lack of

sufficient capacity?

• How much of your infrastructure is actually being used?

Amazon CloudWatch

• Monitors –
• AWS resources
• Applications that run on AWS
• Collects and tracks –
Amazon • Standard metrics
CloudWatch • Custom metrics
• Alarms –
• Send notifications to an Amazon SNS
topic
• Perform Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling or
Amazon EC2 actions
• Events –
• Define rules to match changes in AWS
environment and route these events to
one or more target functions or
streams for processing

CloudWatch alarms

• Create alarms based on –

• Static threshold
• Anomaly detection
• Metric math expression
• Specify –
• Namespace
• Metric
• Statistic
• Period
• Conditions
• Additional configuration
• Actions

 • Amazon CloudWatch helps you
Section 2 key monitor your AWS resources—and the
takeaways applications that you run on AWS—in
real time.
• CloudWatch enables you to –
• Collect and track standard and custom
metrics.
• Set alarms to automatically send
notifications to SNS topics, or perform
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling or Amazon EC2
actions.
• Define rules that match changes in your
AWS environment and route these events
to targets for processing.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling

• Helps you maintain application

availability
• Enables you to automatically add or
remove EC2 instances according to
conditions that you define
• Detects impaired EC2 instances and
unhealthy applications, and replaces the
Su M T W Th F Sa
instances without your intervention
• Provides several scaling options –

collection of EC2 instances that are
treated as a logical grouping for
the purposes of automatic scaling
and management.

AWS Auto Scaling

• Monitors your applications and automatically

adjusts capacity to maintain steady, predictable
performance at the lowest possible cost
AWS Auto Scaling • Provides a simple, powerful user interface that
enables you to build scaling plans for resources,
including –
• Amazon EC2 instances and Spot Fleets
• Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) Tasks
• Amazon DynamoDB tables and indexes
• Amazon Aurora Replicas

 • Scaling enables you to respond quickly to
changes in resource needs.
key takeaways • Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling maintains
application availability by automatically
adding or removing EC2 instances.
• An Auto Scaling group is a collection of EC2
instances.
• A launch configuration is an instance
configuration template.
• Dynamic scaling uses Amazon EC2 Auto
Scaling, CloudWatch, and Elastic Load
Balancing.
• AWS Auto Scaling is a separate service
from Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling.
