AWS Global Accelerator
Optimizing the path from your users to your applications using the AWS Global Network and Static Anycast IPs.
Core Ingredients
Static Anycast IPs
Two static IP addresses that act as a single fixed entry point to your application globally. No more DNS caching issues.
AWS Global Network
Traffic is onboarded at the closest Edge Location and stays on the congestion-free AWS private fiber backbone.
Endpoint Groups
Supports Application Load Balancers, Network Load Balancers, EC2 Instances, or Elastic IPs across multiple regions.
How Anycast Routing Works
Traffic takes the shortest path to the AWS network, bypassing the public internet jitter.
Users connect to the same Anycast IP address from anywhere in the world.
BGP routing directs them to the nearest AWS Edge Location automatically.
Traffic enters the AWS Private Network, avoiding the “noisy” public internet.
Global Accelerator routes to the healthiest, closest regional endpoint.
