Terminology ● Accelerator ● Listener ● Endpoint Group ● Endpoint 

Use Cases ● Multi-Region ● Disaster Recovery ● Static IP Address ● Low Latency ● Blue-Green or Canary Deployment ● Origin Cloaking 

Supported endpoints ● Internet-facing Application Load Balancer (ALB) ● Internal Application Load Balancer (ALB) ● Internet-facing Network Load Balancer (NLB) ● Elastic IP ● EC2 Instance (with or without Public IP) 

Benchmark * ALB is running in eu-west-1 so the difference is minimal by design. 

Benchmark ● Executed by 247 nodes distributed worldwide by PerfOps. ● Nodes are simulating traffic from different parts of the world. ● Benchmark consists of 10,000 measurements per endpoint. ● ALB in eu-west-1 was used as the only endpoint. ● ALB responds with a static response without forwarding the request to a target. ● time-to-first-byte (TTFB). 

Pricing USD 18 per month + traffic premium Traffic Example: 

Benchmark * For some continents, the benchmark is running on less than ten different nodes located in AWS data centers. 

CloudFront vs Global Accelerator ● HTTP/HTTPS. ● responses can be cached. ● Processing decrypted data outside the EU (GDPR)/another territory is not an issue. ● When CloudFront is not an option. ● TCP/UDP: Voice-over-IP, DNS, MQTT, FTP, … ● Multi-region disaster recovery. ● When you don’t want to make your endpoint publicly available.
