What is routing policy in AWS?
Latency routing policy – Use when you have resources in multiple AWS Regions and you want to route traffic to the region that provides the best latency. You can use latency routing to create records in a private hosted zone.
What is the difference between geolocation and Geoproximity?
Geolocation refers to the process of identifying the location of your users by means of digital information that is available on the internet (for example, their IP addresses.) Geoproximity, on the other hand, refers to a specific technique to route traffic to web servers.
What is Geoproximity routing AWS?
Short description. Geoproximity routing allows Route 53 route traffic based on the geographic location of users and resources. Using an element called bias, you can optionally increase or decrease the size of a geographic area. Note: You must use Route 53 traffic flow to use a geoproximity routing policy.
What are Amazon route based on?
Geoproximity routing lets Amazon Route 53 route traffic to your resources based on the geographic location of your users and your resources. You can also optionally choose to route more traffic or less to a given resource by specifying a value, known as a bias.
What is failover routing in AWS?
Failover routing lets you route traffic to a resource when the resource is healthy or to a different resource when the first resource is unhealthy. The primary and secondary records can route traffic to anything from an Amazon S3 bucket that is configured as a website to a complex tree of records.
What is the difference between latency-based routing and Geo DNS?
Amazon maps-out typical latency between IP addresses and AWS regions. Choose Latency-based Routing to have the fastest response. Geolocation maps the IP addresses to geographic locations. This permits rules like "send all users from Côte d'Ivoire to the website in France", so they see a language-specific version.
Why is AWS DNS called Route 53?
The name for our service (Route 53) comes from the fact that DNS servers respond to queries on port 53 and provide answers that route end users to your applications on the Internet.
What is AWS path based routing?
With path-based routing, your Application Load Balancer allows you to host multiple microservices behind a single load balancer using listener rules and target groups. Therefore, you can set up complex rules to route client requests to your applications.
What is VPC routing?
In a VPC network, a route consists of a single destination prefix in CIDR format and a single next hop. When an instance in a VPC network sends a packet, Google Cloud delivers the packet to the route's next hop if the packet's destination address is within the route's destination range.
What is DNS in AWS?
DNS, or the Domain Name System, translates human readable domain names (for example, www.amazon.com) to machine readable IP addresses (for example, 192.0. 2.44).
What are Amazon delivery methods?
These are known as Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA) and Fulfillment By Merchant (FBM). Merchants can choose to ship the item is by one or both of these methods, and there are several reasons to choose between FBM or FBA.
How do AWS routes propagate?
To enable route propagation using the console Open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/ . In the navigation pane, choose Route tables, and then select the route table. Choose Actions, Edit route propagation. Select the Enable check box next to the virtual private gateway, and then choose Save.
What does geolocation mean?
Geolocation refers to the use of location technologies such as GPS or IP addresses to identify and track the whereabouts of connected electronic devices. Because these devices are often carried on an individual's person, geolocation is often used to track the movements and location of people and surveillance.
What is geocoding and geolocation?
Geocoding is the process of converting addresses (like a street address) into geographic coordinates (like latitude and longitude), which you can use to place markers on a map, or position the map. Reverse geocoding is the process of converting geographic coordinates into a human-readable address.
What is the difference between geolocation and GPS?
Instead of looking for GPS satellites, geolocation sniffs out signals from WiFi routers, mobile phone towers and beacons.
What is the difference between IP address and geolocation?
Geolocation reveals local information, specific to the individual like state and city because it uses longitude and latitude coordinates. However, geolocation by IP does not have local information because it only uses the IP address information.
What is VPC Flow Logs?
VPC flow logs is a feature which is used to capture the information about the IP traffic going to and from network interfaces in the VPC.
Understanding Flow Logs
If the flow logs is configured for a VPC , All the subnets and the network intefaces within that VPC will be monitored.
Publishing Flow Logs to Cloudwatch Log group
All the flow logs data can be directly published to Cloudwatch Log group.
Publishing Flow Logs to S3 Bucket
If you wish to send flow logs data to S3 bucket instead of Cloudwatch log group. We can configure it.
Conclusion
We have implemented flow logs for Network interfaces , Subnets and VPC to analyze the traffic.
