AWS Global Accelerator

What is global accelerator?

"AWS Global Accelerator is a service that improves the availability and performance of your applications with local or global users. "AWS Global Accelerator uses the AWS global network to optimize the path from your users to your applications, improving the performance of your traffic by as much as 60%. You can test the performance benefits from your location with a speed comparison tool. 

Advantages:-

• Improve the availability of global application.
• optimizes the network path because of its worldwide aws network.
• AWS Global Accelerator’s static IP addresses make it easy to move endpoints between Availability Zones. thus, it can easily manage endpoints.

How it works?

global accelerator works as follows:

Step 1:- user's service request is sent to global accelerator.

Step 2:- the traffic enters the AWS network at the closest edge location.

Step 3: AWS global accelerator turns the traffic to the optimal endpoint, based on closest proximity to client.

Step 4:- traffic is traversed to closest endpoint in an AWS region.

Step 5:- AWS global accelerator ensures that traffic is routed to appropriate endpoint.

Pricing Range:-

in AWS, you're charged for each accelerator that is provisioned. Customers will typically set up one accelerator for each application, but more complex applications may require more than one accelerator. For every accelerator that is provisioned (both enabled and disabled), you are charged a fixed hourly fee and an incremental charge over your standard Data Transfer rates, also called a Data Transfer-Premium fee (DT -Premium).

1. fixed charges:-AWS charges 0.025$ per hour for each accelerator until it is deleted.
2. DT-Premium:- This is a rate per gigabyte of data transferred over the AWS network. typically it ranges from 0.015$/GB in United states to 0.105$/GB in Australia if we're transferring data from United states. it varies with the region over which the data is transferred.

so, this the brief about the AWS global accelerator. hope, it will will be helpful for you.
