AWS Global Infrastructure
The AWS global infrastructure is massive and is divided into geographical regions. The geographical regions are then divided into separate availability zones. While selecting the geographical regions for AWS, three factors come into play
- Optimizing Latency
- Reducing cost
- Government regulations (Some services are not available for some regions)
Each region is divided into at least two availability zones that are physically isolated from each other, which provides business continuity for the infrastructure as in a distributed system. If one zone fails to function, the infrastructure in other availability zones remains operational. The largest region North Virginia (US-East), has six availability zones. These availability zones are connected by high-speed fiber-optic networking.
There are over 100 edge locations distributed all over the globe that are used for the CloudFront (content delivery network). CloudFront can cache frequently used content such as images and videos(live streaming videos also) at edge locations and distribute it to edge locations across the globe for high-speed delivery and low latency for end-users. It also protects from DDOS attacks.
