Identity and Access Management (IAM) | Identity Access Management (IAM) | Azure Role-Based ACL (RBAC) or Azure AD | Cloud IAM |
Content Delivery Network (CDN) | Cloudfront | Azure CDN | Cloud CDN or CDN Interconnect |
Autoscaling | Auto-scaling group | VM Scale Sets | Compute Engine Autoscaler |
API endpoints | API Gateway | API Management | Cloud Endpoints |
API endpoints:
Single entryway that allows multiple APIs or microservices to act cohesively.
Autoscaling:
Scales resources (of a group) up or down based on usage and rules.
Availability Zone (AZ):
Distinct locations (within regions) where resources are housed - designed to be isolated from failures in other AZs.
Compute Instances:
Scalable compute instances (servers)
Content Delivery Network (CDN):
Global network that delivers content based on the geographic locations of the user.
Domain Name System (DNS):
Naming database in which internet domain names are located and translated into IP addresses.
Identity and Access Management (IAM):
Manage access to cloud services and resources securely.
Internet Gateway:
VPC component that allows communication between instances in VPCs and the internet.
Load Balancing:
Pushes traffic (in a balanced way) across multiple targets in multiple AZs.
Network Address Translation (NAT):
Enable outbound internet traffic from instances in a private subnet.
Network Peering:
A networking connection between two VPCs that enables the routing traffic between them using private IP addresses.
Network Routes/Routing:
A set of rules that are used to determine where network traffic from subnets and/or gateways are directed.
Object Storage:
Scalable, highly available storage for objects.
Region:
Worldwide locations where resources are hosted.
Security Groups:
Contains a list of security rules that allow or deny network traffic to resources.
Subnet:
Logical subdivision of an IP network. Can be private or public.
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC):
A logically isolated section of the cloud where you can launch resources.
VPC Endpoints:
Privately connects VPC to other cloud and endpoint services.
VPN Gateway:
Private connection to VPCs.
