Overview of this book

The surge in connected edge devices has driven organizations to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the massive amounts of data generated by these devices. However, adapting to this landscape demands significant changes in application architectures. This book serves as your guide to edge computing fundamentals, shedding light on the constraints and risks inherent in selecting solutions within this domain. You’ll explore an extensive suite of edge computing services from AWS, gaining insights into when and how to use AWS Outposts, AWS Wavelength, AWS Local Zones, AWS Snow Family, and AWS IoT Greengrass. With detailed use cases, technical requirements, and architectural patterns, you’ll master the practical implementation of these services and see how they work in real life through step-by-step examples, using the AWS CLI and AWS Management Console. To conclude, you’ll delve into essential security and operational considerations to maximize the value delivered by AWS services. By the end of this book, you'll be ready to design powerful edge computing architectures and handle complex edge computing use cases across multiple AWS services.

Using the AWS global backbone as a private WAN

Given the ubiquitous presence and high quality of the AWS Global Network, many customers have sought to build a private WAN infrastructure on top of it. This has been possible for some time through the use of third-party appliances from the AWS marketplace. Companies such as Aviatrix, Cisco, and Palo Alto Networks can build an overlay on top of EC2 instances running in different regions and use the AWS backbone as transport between them.

Until recently, however, there wasn’t a native AWS service that could combine this with the power of AWS Direct Connect. Consider the following diagram. A customer has data centers in two different countries with AWS Direct Connect to their closest region and a gateway in the middle. It might make sense for some of the customer’s traffic to never enter the AWS region at all and head straight for the other on-premises data center:
