how are you? AWS provides a mix of global and regional services, and it's important to differentiate between them. Here's an updated overview of some of the main global services
Real Global AWS Services:
- Identity and Access Management (IAM) – IAM is global because it
manages permissions and security policies at a global level across
all regions.
- Amazon CloudFront – CloudFront, being a Content Delivery Network
(CDN), is designed to deliver content globally, so it operates
across all AWS regions.
- Amazon Route 53 – This is a global DNS service, meaning it manages
DNS records and routing globally for your domain names.
- AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) – While WAF itself is deployed on
a regional level for specific applications, it can be used globally
when combined with CloudFront for managing web traffic.
Other Global AWS Services:
Amazon SES (Simple Email Service) – Although SES uses specific
endpoints, it is considered a global service as it can send and
receive emails worldwide.
AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) – Server certificates in ACM are global
as they can be used across different AWS regions.
