I’m happy to introduce the release of Amazon CloudFront Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) origins, a new feature that enables content delivery from applications hosted in private subnets within their Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). This makes it easy to secure web applications, allowing you to focus on growing your businesses while improving security and maintaining high-performance and global scalability with CloudFront. Customers serving content from Amazon Simple Storage Solution (Amazon S3), AWS Elemental Services and AWS Lambda Function URLs can use Origin Access Control as a managed solution to secure their origins, and make CloudFront the single front-door to your application. However, this was more difficult to achieve for applications that are hosted on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon…

Amazon CloudFront now accepts your applications’ gRPC calls
Starting today, you can deploy Amazon CloudFront, our global content delivery network (CDN), in front of your gRPC API endpoints. gRPC is a modern, efficient, and language-agnostic framework for building APIs. It uses Protocol Buffers (protobuf) as its interface definition language (IDL), which enable you to define services and message types in a platform-independent manner. With gRPC, communication between services is achieved through lightweight and high-performance remote procedure calls (RPCs) over HTTP/2. This promotes efficient and low-latency communication across services, making it ideal for microservices architectures. gRPC offers features such as bidirectional streaming, flow control, and automatic code generation for a variety of programming languages. It’s well-suited for scenarios in which you require high performance, efficient communication, and real-time data…

Streamline container application networking with built-in Amazon ECS support in Amazon VPC Lattice
Since its launch, Amazon VPC Lattice has streamlined complex networking tasks. As a result, my perspective on how to build and connect modern, multi-service applications has changed. As my colleague Danilo wrote in his post announcing the general availability of VPC Lattice: “By using VPC Lattice, you can focus on your application logic and improve productivity and deployment flexibility with consistent support for instances, containers, and serverless computing.” Today, we’re announcing Amazon VPC Lattice built-in support for Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). With this new built-in integration, Amazon ECS services can now be directly associated with VPC Lattice target groups without the need for intermediate load balancers. Here’s a quick look at how you can find Amazon VPC Lattice…
