Network Performance Tuning

Performance Optimization Tips	Description
CloudFront	Use CloudFront to distribute your app's content to edge locations worldwide to reduce latency and improve performance.
Content Delivery Network	Use Content Delivery Network (CDN) to improve the performance and availability of the app by caching content closer to users.
Lambda@Edge	Use Lambda@Edge to run serverless compute in response to CloudFront events, to optimize your app's performance.
Elastic IPs	Use Elastic IPs to assign a static IP address to instances, allowing for better control of IP-based access control lists.
VPC Endpoints	Use VPC endpoints to allow the app to access services in the VPC without going over the internet.
Elastic Network Interface (ENI)	Use Elastic Network Interface (ENI) to improve network performance by attaching multiple ENIs to a single instance.
VPC Peering	Use VPC peering to connect VPCs within the same or different regions for better network performance.
Multiple VPCs	Use multiple VPCs to isolate different parts of your app for better security and performance.
Direct Connect	Use Direct Connect to establish a dedicated network connection between your on-prem
Caching	Use caching techniques such as in-memory caching or caching at the CDN level to improve the performance of frequently accessed data.
Network Optimization	Optimize the network by enabling TCP/IP settings, disabling unnecessary protocols and services, and monitoring network performance.
Load Balancing	Use Load Balancing to distribute incoming traffic across multiple servers to improve performance and ensure availability.
Elastic Load Balancer (ELB)	Use Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) to distribute incoming traffic across multiple instances for better scalability and availability.
Application Load Balancer (ALB)	Use Application Load Balancer (ALB) to route incoming traffic to different target groups based on rules, improving the scalability and availability of your app.
Auto Scaling	Use auto scaling to automatically increase or decrease the number of instances based on traffic demand.
Auto scaling groups	Use auto scaling groups to automatically scale the number of instances based on performance metrics.
Elasticache	Use Elasticache to improve the performance of your app by caching frequently accessed data in memory.
CloudWatch	Use CloudWatch to monitor and troubleshoot performance issues.
Elastic Block Store (EBS)	Use Elastic Block Store (EBS) for storage to improve the I/O performance of your instances.
CloudWatch Alarms	Use CloudWatch Alarms to automatically scale up or down the number of instances based on performance metrics.
CloudTrail	Use CloudTrail to monitor the performance and security of your AWS resources and detect any issues.

VPC Peering

• Increased communication and resource sharing:
  • Allows resources in different VPCs to communicate with each other as if they were in the same network. This allows for increased flexibility and resource sharing.
• Improved security:
  • Improve security by isolating different parts of a network and limiting access between them.
• Cost savings:
  • Reduce costs by eliminating the need for a VPN or a dedicated leased line to connect different VPCs.
• Latency reduction:
  • Reduce latency by allowing resources in different VPCs to communicate with each other directly, rather than routing traffic through the internet.
• Compliance:
  • Enabling peering between VPCs allows to meet the compliance requirements by separating the production, development and other environments.

VPC Endpoints

• Improved security:
  • VPC endpoints allow you to control access to AWS services from your VPC, reducing the attack surface of your network.
• Reduced data transfer costs:
  • VPC endpoints allow you to access AWS services without going over the internet, which can reduce data transfer costs.
• Improved performance:
  • VPC endpoints can improve performance by reducing the latency of service requests.
• Compliance:
  • VPC endpoints can help you meet regulatory and compliance requirements by providing a secure and direct way to access AWS services.
• Network isolation:
  • VPC endpoints allow to access AWS services without the need of a NAT Gateway or VPN, which increases the security and allows to isolate the network.
• Consistent network experience:
  • VPC endpoints allows access to services from within the VPC, providing a consistent network experience across on-premises and AWS environments.
