Route 53 has the business properties that you have come to expect from an AWS service: fully self-service and programmable, with transparent pay-as-you-go pricing and no minimum usage commitments. There are two main types of DNS servers: authoritative servers and caching resolvers. Some fundamentals on Naming.

We’ll get to that, but first let’s look at some examples of privacy policies and how they can be expressed. For example: An aggregation policy could be used to rewrite any matching aggregation into a differentially-private version. The challenging thing of course, is efficiently maintaining all of these parallel universes.

Elasticsearch recommends each shard to be under 65GB (AWS recommends them to be under 50GB), so we could create time based indices where each index holds somewhere between 16–20GB of data, giving some buffer for data growth.

Cons of logical backups As it reads all data, it can be slow and will require disk reads too for databases that are larger than the RAM available for the WT cache—the WT cache pressure increases, which slows down the performance. Especially if going into or out of storage types that may throttle bandwidth/network traffic.

DynamoDB was the first service at AWS to use SSD storage.

While caching continues to be a dominant use of ElastiCache for Redis, we see customers increasingly use it as an in-memory NoSQL database.
