Use AWS Edge locations for scale (BP1, BP3)
Access to highly-scaled, diverse internet connections can significantly increase your ability to optimize latency and throughput to users, to absorb DDoS attacks, and to isolate faults while minimizing the impact on your application’s availability. AWS edge locations provide an additional layer of network infrastructure that provides these benefits to any web application that uses Amazon CloudFront, Global Accelerator and Amazon Route 53. With these services, you can comprehensively protect on the edge your applications running from AWS Regions.
