Service Segmentation: The ease of the cloud deployments has led to the organic growth of multiple AWS accounts, deployment practices, interconnection practices, etc. Without having network visibility, it’s not possible to improve our reliability, security and capacity posture. A flow log record represents a network flow in the VPC.

VPC Flow Logs is an Amazon service that enables IT pros to capture information about the IP traffic that traverses network interfaces in a virtual private cloud, or VPC. By default, each record captures a network internet protocol (IP), a destination, and the source of the traffic flow that occurs within your environment.

All that work to get two computers talking to each other and they ended up in the very same master-slave situation the network was supposed to eliminate.

As we began growing the AWS business, we realized that external customers might find our Dynamo database just as useful as we found it within Amazon.com. So, we set out to build a fully hosted AWS database service based upon the original Dynamo design.

We thus assigned a priority to each use case and sharded event traffic by routing to priority-specific queues and the corresponding event processing clusters. This separation allows us to tune system configuration and scaling policies independently for different event priorities and traffic patterns.

In fact, this is been proven by our customers as Amazon Aurora remains the fastest growing service in AWS history. We are increasingly seeing customers wanting to build Internet-scale applications that require diverse data models. The opposite is true.
