In this talk, we'll describe some of the resilience testing we've been doing in AWS. We'll talk a bit about the Game Day Region, why it exists, and how we use it.

Essential services that power global economies and critical infrastructure demand exceptional resilience. Through nearly two decades of focused innovation, AWS has developed core engineering practices and operational approaches that power critical workloads worldwide.

Building highly resilient applications in the cloud requires building across multiple Availability Zones, capacity planning for redundancy, and having mechanisms in place to ensure that requests are routed away from occasional, temporary failures—both hard and gray—in an Availability Zone.

Building highly resilient applications in the cloud requires building across multiple Availability Zones (AZs), capacity planning for redundancy, and having mechanisms in place to ensure that requests are routed away from occasional, temporary failures—both hard and gray failures. In this session, learn how to prepare your application to recover quickly from such failures using the new zonal...

Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable cloud Domain Name System (DNS) service. It provides a variety of functions on AWS, from allowing you to register and host public DNS records to providing a DNS resolver for queries from inside Amazon VPC.

This session covers best practices for managing DNS resolution across hundreds of VPCs. We compare options such as private hosted zone associations versus Amazon Route 53 Resolver, as well as how to automate this at scale.

The launch of Amazon Route 53 Resolver endpoints and forwarding rules has opened up a variety of exciting new options for managing DNS resolution, especially in hybrid cloud environments. This session gives a quick overview of the product before taking a deep dive into the design of Route 53 Resolver, including how it complements Route 53 private DNS and best practices to achieve availability...
