Traffic Mirroring is an HAQM Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) feature you can use to copy network traffic from an elastic network interface of an HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance and send it to a target storage service for analysis. You can use it for content inspection, threat monitoring, network performance monitoring, and troubleshooting. Through […]

HAQM Web Services (AWS) Verified Access (AVA) is a secure remote access service that eliminates the need for VPNs. AVA reduces management complexity and improves security with real-time evaluations of requests based on factors such as identity and device posture. With Verified Access, you can define access policies written in Cedar using end user context, […]

Please note: due to an issue under investigation as of March 1, 2025, when the destination of a probe is reached through a Transit Gateway, the Network Health indicator may not reflect correctly the health of the underlying network path. We will remove this warning when this issue has been resolved. Today we announce the […]

In this blog post, we highlight how Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) Express can improve workload performance in conventional network applications, such as databases, file systems, and media encoding. We begin by demonstrating how ENA Express can significantly improve tail latency when used with in-memory databases. From there, we will explore the advantages it offers to […]

In an earlier post, we discussed how the hub-and-spoke architecture introduced by Local Zones unlocks more choices than ever for geographies where lower latency access can be introduced. Through workload placement techniques offered by service mesh technology for “east-west traffic”, inter-service communication within a customer’s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), customers can make sure that microservice […]

AWS Transit Gateway is a network transit hub that enables you to connect thousands of HAQM Virtual Private Clouds (HAQM VPCs) and your on-premises networks using a single gateway. This simplifies your network connection and puts an end to complex peering relationships. AWS Transit Gateway Flow Logs enables you to export detailed telemetry information, such as source/destination […]

Customers use AWS Network Load Balancer (NLB), Classic Load Balancer (CLB), or Application Load Balancer (ALB) as load balancers or ingress with HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) clusters. AWS Load Balancer Controller is designed to help manage Elastic Load Balancers for a Kubernetes cluster. It satisfies Kubernetes Ingress resources by provisioning ALBs and Kubernetes […]

HAQM Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) endpoints – powered by AWS PrivateLink—allow you to securely expose your application to consumers on AWS without using public IP space and without worrying about overlapping private IP space. You also don’t have to worry about creating bidirectional network paths using services like AWS Transit Gateway or HAQM VPC Peering.To […]

An update was made on November 25, 2024: HAQM Q support for network troubleshooting is now generally available. Learn more. This blog post explores how HAQM Q, the generative artificial intelligence (AI) powered assistant from AWS, helps you troubleshoot network-related issues by working with HAQM VPC Reachability Analyzer. These are exciting times for cloud networking! […]

Introduction Since their introduction in 2010, tags have been helping HAQM Web Services (AWS) customers identify, organize, and manage their resources by adding referenceable key/value pairs. In this post, we explore how tags can be used to automate the addition and removal of HAQM VPC Lattice resource associations, and cross account resource shares using HAQM […]
