   • Use Cases:
     • Caches and delivers static and dynamic content at edge locations for low-latency access.
     • Supports secure content delivery using HTTPS.

3. Amazon Route 53:

   • Description: Amazon Route 53 is a scalable and highly available Domain Name System (DNS) web service provided by AWS.
   • Use Cases:
     • Domain registration and management.
     • DNS routing for scalable and reliable domain resolution.
     • Health checks for applications.

4. AWS Direct Connect:

   • Description: AWS Direct Connect provides dedicated network connections from your on-premises data centers to AWS.
   • Use Cases:
     • High-throughput and consistent connectivity between on-premises and AWS.
     • Supports hybrid cloud architectures.

5. AWS Transit Gateway:

   • Description: AWS Transit Gateway is a service that enables you to connect multiple Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and on-premises networks in a hub-and-spoke model.
   • Use Cases:
     • Simplifies network architecture for enterprises with multiple VPCs and on-premises locations.
     • Centralized management of network connections.

6. AWS VPN CloudHub:

   • Description: VPN CloudHub allows you to create a hub-and-spoke network topology with multiple VPN connections to a single VPC.
   • Use Cases:
     • Simplifies VPN connectivity for multiple remote branch offices.
     • Hub-and-spoke connectivity for remote sites.

7. AWS Global Accelerator, CloudFront, and Route 53 Integration:

   • Description: These services can be integrated to provide a comprehensive solution for global content delivery, DNS routing, and application acceleration.
   • Use Cases:
     • Combining services for optimal performance and availability.
     • Seamless integration of CDN, DNS, and application acceleration.

8. Elastic Load Balancer (ELB):

   • Description: Elastic Load Balancer distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, in multiple Availability Zones.
   • Use Cases:
     • Improves availability and fault tolerance of applications.
     • Supports application load balancing across regions.

9. AWS PrivateLink:

   • Description: AWS PrivateLink enables private connectivity between VPCs, AWS services, and on-premises applications without traversing the public internet.
   • Use Cases:
     • Accessing AWS services securely without public internet exposure.
     • Private connectivity for inter-VPC communication.

10. Amazon VPC Peering:

    • Description: VPC Peering allows you to connect multiple VPCs, enabling communication between them using private IP addresses.
