Amazon AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a comprehensive cloud computing platform provided by Amazon. It includes a range of infrastructure, platform, and software services that enable organizations to build, deploy, and run applications and websites on Amazon's infrastructure.

AWS offers a wide range of services for computing, storage, networking, data analytics, machine learning, security, and application development. It allows organizations to access Amazon's infrastructure and technology through a pay-as-you-go pricing model, without the need to invest in and maintain their own physical servers and other infrastructure.

AWS can be used to host and run applications, store and analyze data, and develop and train machine learning models, among other use cases. It is a popular choice for organizations of all sizes, including startups and large enterprises, due to its flexibility, scalability, and reliability. AWS also provides a range of tools and resources for monitoring, managing, and optimizing the use of its services.

S3

Amazon S3 is a cloud storage service that allows developers to store and retrieve data using a simple web interface. It offers high scalability, data availability, security, and performance, making it suitable for a wide range of use cases such as storing and distributing media files and backing up data. S3 is highly durable, with a 99.999999999% durability guarantee, meaning that data is stored redundantly across multiple servers and replicated to multiple regions to prevent data loss due to hardware failure or other disasters. It also has various security features to protect data, including encryption and fine-grained access controls.

Data Transfer

CloudFront

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It speeds up the delivery of static and dynamic web content, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images, to users by caching copies of the content at edge locations around the world.

When a user requests content that is served by CloudFront, the request is automatically routed to the edge location that provides the lowest latency (time delay). If the requested content is not available at that edge location, CloudFront retrieves it from the origin server and adds it to the cache at the edge location, so that it can be served to future requests more quickly. This reduces the load on the origin server and improves the performance of the content delivery for the end user.

CloudFront integrates with other AWS services, such as Amazon S3 and Amazon EC2, and can also be used to deliver content from any HTTP or HTTPS origin. It offers various features to help you customize and control the content delivery, such as custom SSL certificates, content invalidation, and support for HTTP/2 and IPv6. Overall, CloudFront is a powerful and flexible CDN service that helps you deliver content to users with low latency and high performance.

Requests

Route 53

Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It allows you to register domain names and manage DNS records for those domains, making it easy to route traffic to your websites and applications.

Route 53 is designed to provide high availability and low latency for DNS queries, and it uses Anycast routing to route traffic to the nearest available server. It also offers a variety of features to help you customize and control your DNS configuration, such as support for weighted, latency-based, and geolocation-based routing, as well as integration with other AWS services, such as Amazon CloudFront and Amazon S3.

In addition to providing DNS services, Route 53 also offers a number of other features to help you manage your domain names and web traffic. For example, it provides domain registration services, and it also offers health checks that you can use to monitor the health of your resources and route traffic away from unhealthy ones.

Hosted Zones

Note: A hosted zone includes 10,000 records. For each record greater than 10,000 per zone, you will be charged $0.0015 per month.

DNS Queries

DNS queries are free when you use the service to route traffic to Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources, such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances or Amazon S3 buckets. This means that you do not pay any charges for DNS queries that are routed to your AWS resources.

If you use Route 53 to route traffic to non-AWS resources, such as a website hosted on a server outside of AWS, you will be charged for DNS queries based on the pricing for the Route 53 service.
