Global Infrastructure

Route 53

Managed DNS that can route traffic to EC2 instances. It can have different routing policies to route to different instances based on load, latency, or failover.

CloudFront

CloudFront is a CDN, or Content Delivery Network, which caches data at the edge for faster read performance. It also helps with DDoS protection because of integration with Shield and AWS WebApplication Firewall.

S3 Transfer Acceleration

Increases the transfer speed by transferring file to AWS edge location and then using AWS's fast private network to put in S3 bucket.

AWS Global Accelerator

Same concept, but for routing traffic to your load balancers and Route 53.

AWS Outposts

On-prem servers that you can rent that run AWS services on them.

AWS Wavelength

Brings AWS services to the edge of 5G networks.

AWS Local Zones

Places where AWS has services in smaller cities, think extensions of an AWS region. Good for latency-sensitive applications.
