AWS Network and Content Delivery Services

The Network and Content Delivery Services suite contains multiple services that control how your cloud services connect and interface with each other as well as with your on-premise data center. This basically holds services that will help you design your infrastructure's interconnectivity, and traffic and content distribution.

See below the current list of available services within this category.

VPC (Virtual Private Cloud)
       - Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) enables you to launch Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources into a virtual network that you've defined.  This virtual network closely resembles a traditional network that you'd operate in your own data center, with the benefits of using the scalable infrastructure of AWS.
       - In short, this is a virtual data center.

CloudFront
       - Amazon CloudFront is a global Content Delivery Network (CDN) service that securely delivers data, videos, applications, and APIs to your viewers with low latency and high transfer speeds.  CloudFront is integrated with AWS - both physical locations that are directly connected to the AWS global infrastructure, as well as software that works seamlessly with services including AWS Shield for DDoS mitigation, Amazon S3, Elastic Load Balancing or Amazon EC2 as origins for your applications, and AWS Lambda to run custom code close to your viewers.
       - These are groups of EDGE locations that cache data.

Route 53
       - Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable cloud Domain Name System (DNS) web service.  It is designed to give developers and business an extremely reliable and cost effective way to route end users to Internet applications by translating names like www.example.com into the numeric IP address like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other.  It is fully compliant with IPv6 as well.
       - In plain words, it is Amazon's DNS service.

API Gateway
       - Amazon API Gateway helps developers to create and manage APIs to back-end systems running on Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, or any publicly addressable web service.  With Amazon API Gateway, you can generate custom client SDKs for your APIs, to connect your back-end systems to mobile, web, and server applications or services.
       - This is the door for apps to access business data.

Direct Connect
       - AWS Direct Connect makes it easy to establish a dedicated network connection from your premises to AWS.  Using AWS Direct Connect, you can establish private connectivity between AWS and your datacenter, office, or colocation environment, which in many cases can reduce your network costs, increase bandwidth throughput, and provide a more consistent network experience than internet-based connections.
       - This is a direct connection to AWS services through phone line connections (reliable connection).

AWS App Mesh
       - AWS App Mesh is a service mesh based on the Envoy proxy that makes it easy to monitor and control microservices.  App Mesh standardizes how your microservices communicate, giving you end-to-end visibility and helping to ensure high-availability for your applications. 
App Mesh gives you consistent visibility and network traffic controls for every microservice in an application. 

AWS Cloud Map
       - AWS Cloud Map is a fully managed service that you can use to create and maintain a map of the backend services and resources that your applications depend on.  It is tightly integrated with Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS).   

AWS Global Accelerator 
       - AWS Global Accelerator is a network layer service in which you create accelerators to improve availability and performance for internet applications used by a global audience.
