Q

Virtual Private Networks (VPN):

A

Virtual Private Networks (VPN):

  • A virtual private network allows you to connect a VPC to an external network, such as a data center or office, via a secure connection that traverses the public internet
  • VPN connections are encrypted

Q

Direct Connect:

A

Direct Connect:

  • Provides private network connectivity to your VPC and public services such as Amazon S3 and Glacier
  • It does not provide internet access, so if you need it you still need an internet access
  • Direct Connect operates using a dedicated link that operates at 1 or 10 Gbps - because of this it’s not subject to the high and unpredictable latency of a broadband internet connection
  • These take time to setup, think months, so if you see a question says I need to move data quickly in the next week or days, this isn’t the option unless its already setup.

AWS Database Migration Services (DMS)

A

AWS Database Migration Services (DMS)

-migrates across to a service such as Redshift, Amazon RDS, etc
