Network Connectivity in AWS: VPC Communications & Workload Acceleration

Network Connectivity in AWS: VPC Communications & Workload Acceleration - David Gendel

This session will focus on two critical parts of running your workloads in AWS – how do you enable communication between different VPCs, and how do you ensure that your workload maintains the lowest possible latency for your users. In the first half, we will discuss options and best practices for VPC Peering, Transit Gateway, and the concept of a networking hub VPC where you can run 3rd party products you already know. In the second half, we will discuss options and best practices for CloudFront, Global Accelerator, and VPN Accelerator.
