Mod 3: AWS Global Infrastructure Overview Flashcards
-is designed and built to deliver a flexible, reliable, scalable, and secure cloud computing environment with high-quality global network performance.
AWS Global Infrastructure
-choose a circle on the map to view summary information about the region represented by the circle.
AWS global infrastructure map
choose a tab to view a map of the selected geogrpahy and a list of regions, edge, locations, local zones, and regional caches.
region and nationality
-is a geographical area
-provides full redundance and connectivity to the network.
-typically consists of two or more availability zones.
AWS regions
who controls the data replication across regions ?
you
what is used for communication between regions
AWS Backbone Network Infrastructure.
-each region has multiple
-each is a fully isolated partition of the AWS infrastruture.
-consists of discrete data
-designed for fault isolation
-AWS recommends to replicate data and resoucres across these for resiliency
availability zones
availiability zones are interconnected with other availability zoes by using this.

AWS data centers
how many physical servers does a data center typically have?
50,000 to 80,000
-consists of edge locations and a much smaller number of regional edge caches
point of presence
point of presence is used with this.
