NET339: Innovation and operation of the AWS global network infrastructure

In this session, we take a look inside the cloud to share how we build, operate, and innovate around the underlying infrastructure of the AWS global backbone. We start with an Amazon EC2 instance and the host it runs on and move through its high-bandwidth connection to the datacenter infrastructure out to other Availability Zones, regions, and the internet. We also discuss the automatic encryption of all traffic on the AWS global and regional networks between AWS secured facilities along with how we extensively use our own services, such as Amazon CloudWatch, to monitor, alarm, and automatically remediate any issues found on the network.
