Implementing Cloud Design Patterns for AWS

Summary

We covered a few methods of adding redundancy and optimization to static content in this chapter. The first three methods covered the AWS S3 service as a backend. The first pattern used S3 with an EC2 configured server to serve static application data from the server using S3 as a backend for non-application data. The next pattern covered using the S3 by itself as a web application server. The last of the S3-backed patterns used the AWS-provided URL generation API to generate time-limited URLs for S3-backed objects.

The last two patterns covered CloudFormation as a cache system to ensure that data was migrated to as many redundant servers as possible. The first pattern discussed the benefits of cache optimization, while the last one discussed ...
