AWS re:Invent 2016: Global Traffic Management with Amazon Route 53 Traffic Flow (NET302)

As companies grow and expand their global footprint, it becomes increasingly critical to make systems highly available while also improving responsiveness to end-users. Companies are choosing to place their applications closer to end-users to improve performance, which introduces the complications of how to route end-user traffic to the most appropriate endpoints and how to most efficiently route traffic within internal systems. In this session, learn how customers are using Route 53's Traffic Flow service for global traffic management, improving performance and availability for end users while reducing IT management cost. We will walk through how to use Traffic Flow to manager traffic to your applications' globally-distributed endpoints to optimize for constraints such as endpoint load, the health of your resources, geographic restrictions, and Internet latency. We'll demonstrate how you can configure multiple routing policies and take advantage of code control and versioning for easier management of your DNS and traffic management configuration.
