- 42. Introduction
- 43. The AWS Global Infrastructure - connected by high-speed backbone network between the regions.
- Made of 26+ regions. Each region has two or more Availability Zones - for redundancy. An availability zone can be thought of as a physical data center. Each data center has redundant power sources and redundant networking.
- AWS Outposts - extends AWS services into dedicated hardware in your data center or corporate location. For using AWS services on-premises. For using AWS APIs on-premises.
- AWS Local Zone - exxtends the AWS Availability Zone closer to end-users for lower latency. I guess it's like an Availability Zone without the full-fledged characteristics of a Data Center?
- AWS Wavelength Zone - extends AWS using 5G wireless. For singled-digit ms latency to mobile device users.
- AWS CloudFront is a CDN with 13+ Regional Edge Caches and 400+ Edge locations.
- 44. Defining VPC CIDR Blocks
- 8 host bits = 256 addresses /24 subnet mask 255.255.255.0
- 16 host bits = 65,536 addresses /16 subnet mask 255.255.0.0
- 12 host bits = 4096 addresses /20 subnet mask [1]
- Cannot increase or decrease the size of your CIDR block once it's defined (You'd have to create and migrate to a new VPC)
- Recommended to use RFC 1918 ranges [2]

- ↑ The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix) We will refer to the first block as "24-bit block", the second as "20-bit block", and to the third as "16-bit" block. Note that (in pre-CIDR notation) the first block is nothing but a single class A network number, while the second block is a set of 16 contiguous class B network numbers, and third block is a set of 256 contiguous class C network numbers.
