DNS is one of the fundamental building blocks of internet applications and was high on the wish list of our customers for some time already. DNS is an absolutely critical piece of the internet infrastructure. The Domain Name System is a wonderful practical piece of technology; it is a fundamental building block of our modern internet.

Customers with complex computational workloads such as tightly coupled, parallel processes, or with applications that are very sensitive to network performance, can now achieve the same high compute and networking performance provided by custom-built infrastructure while benefiting from the elasticity, flexibility and cost advantages of Amazon EC2.

There are different considerations when deciding where to allocate resources with latency and cost being the two obvious ones, but compliance sometimes plays an important role as well.

With the rise of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks using a high quality DNS hosting provider is very important to the redundancy of your website. There is nothing worse for visitors than your website being inaccessible. You can think of a DNS server as a phone book for the internet. What is DNS?

This is sometimes referred to as using an “over-cloud” model that involves a centrally managed resource pool that spans all parts of a connected global network with internal connections between regional borders, such as two instances in IAD-ORD for NYC-JS webpage DNS routing.

As we will see, QUIC and HTTP/3 indeed have great web performance potential, but mainly for users on slow networks. If your average visitor is on a fast cabled or cellular network, they probably won’t benefit from the new protocols all that much. Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).

As well as AWS Regions, we also have 24 AWS Edge Network Locations in Europe. This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience. In 2011, AWS opened a Point of Presence (PoP) in Stockholm to enable customers to serve content to their end users with low latency.

You’ve probably heard things like: “HTTP/3 is much faster than HTTP/2 when there is packet loss”, or “HTTP/3 connections have less latency and take less time to set up”, and probably “HTTP/3 can send data more quickly and can send more resources in parallel”. Websites would magically become 50% faster with the flip of a switch!

For example, the most fundamental abstraction trade-off has always been latency versus throughput. Modern CPUs strongly favor lower latency of operations with clock cycles in the nanoseconds and we have built general purpose software architectures that can exploit these low latencies very well. Where to go from here?

Eric Brewer of UC Berkeley summarized these challenges in what has been called the CAP Theorem , which states that of the three properties of shared-data systems--data consistency, system availability, and tolerance to network partitions--only two can be achieved at any given time. Lowest read latency. Higher read latency.
