Amazon CloudFront is a fast content delivery network (CDN) service used to speed up web content distribution and is delivered through a global network of data centers called edge locations. These locations are proxy servers that cache content so that when a user requests to view some content, the request is routed to the quickest edge location to help you deliver your content with the best possible performance.
By routing each user request through the AWS backbone network, CloudFront speeds up distributing your content by sourcing it from the edge location best suited to serve your content. With edge servers located across six continents, there is always an edge location ready to deliver your customers fast content.
By taking advantage of the AWS network, Amazon CloudFront dramatically reduces the number of networks that your user requests pass through, improving performance and achieving higher data transfer rates. Amazon CloudFront can help you speed up static website content delivery, encrypt specific fields at add field-level security, provide live streaming video or serve video on demand.
For example, if you produce your content in Europe but want to deliver fast content to South American users, you can use Amazon CloudFront to cache your content on the nearest edge location for South American clients. When a user from, say Brazil, accesses your content, they are directed to the South American edge server.
Amazon CloudFront is fully integrated with Amazon CloudWatch, and automatically publishes six operational metrics per distribution, which is where MetricFire comes into play.
With Metricfire, you can turbocharge your Amazon CloudWatch monitoring services. By integrating Amazon CloudWatch with the Metricfire platform, you can display your metrics on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. MetricFire's advanced filtering lets you choose only the data views you want to see and discard the rest. You can also set up simple rules to discard data you no longer keep, plus receive alerts via email or Slack when a distribution issue is detected.
The Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) is a web service you can use to set up and manage relational databases in the AWS Cloud. It provides a cost-efficient way to leverage fully managed and scalable industry-standard relational databases without the need to look after everyday database administration tasks.
When you subscribe to Amazon RDS, you get your own cloud-based server, CPU, memory, storage and IOPS, all bundled together. You can set up, manage, and scale each of these services independently. If you need more CPU or more storage, you can quickly allocate them. Amazon RDS manages your backups, software patching, plus it includes automatic failure detection and recovery. You can use different database flavors, including MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
You can configure Amazon RDS for high availability and failover by setting up a primary instance and a synchronous secondary instance. Plus, you can control who can access your RDS databases by using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) services to assign users permissions.
Amazon RDS is fully integrated with Amazon CloudWatch, allowing you to monitor your database's health and performance. By subscribing to Amazon RDS events, you can be notified about changes to a DB instance, DB parameter group, DB security group or DB snapshot.
More importantly, with Metricfire, you can turbocharge your Amazon RDS monitoring services. By integrating Amazon CloudWatch with the Metricfire platform, you can display your metrics on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. MetricFire's advanced filtering lets you choose only the data views you want to see and discard the rest. You can also set up simple rules to discard data you no longer keep, plus receive alerts via email or Slack when a database issue is detected.
