Direct Connect Direct Connect (DX) allows you to bypass the public Internet to connect directly between your data center and an AWS region. This is a private connection that gives you the benefit of security with a consistent speed at low latency. If you have large volumes of data to transfer, you may achieve lower […]

Dynamic Routing Dynamic routing records all topology changes, updates automatically, and adjusts to changing networking conditions. Dynamic routing uses well-defined protocols such as OSPF internally or BGP between companies to exchange the routing information without ongoing administrative intervention. Internal routing methods used inside of a company’s network are referred to as Internal Gateway Protocols (IGPs) […]

Detecting a Disaster and Testing DR The first step, before you can take any countermeasures, is to detect that a disaster is actually taking place. Your recovery objectives (RTO and RPO) will dictate how much time you actually have to do so. Consider a situation where you have an RTO of 4 hours with an […]

Summarizing precision and recall Sometimes, you might want to use a metric that summarizes precision and recall, instead of prioritizing one over the other. Two very popular metrics can be used to summarize precision and recall: F1 score and Area Under Curve (AUC). The F1 score, also known as the F-measure, computes the harmonic mean […]

Note If you were trying to do this for a large number of instances in an automated fashion, then the best course of action would be to label those instances to get the CloudWatch agent with a particular tag and value – for example, CloudWatchAgent as the tag and the date as the value. This way, you […]

GENEVE The GENEVE protocol was covered in Chapter 4, “Load Balancing,” as part of the gateway load balancer. In this section, we will do a brief refresher of this standardized encapsulation protocol. The GENEVE protocol preserves the original packet by providing an encapsulation protocol that supports transparent routing. To make sure that the original packet […]

IPSec IPSec provides encapsulation of packets that are encrypted in transit between endpoint devices. IPSec is actually a family of protocols that work together for end-to-end encryption of data flows. IPSec will encrypt the packets and can authenticate the source of where the packets came from. It is the most common method used on networks […]
