Cloud Network Traffic Within the Same Region Can Be Very Expensive

The article discusses the intricacies of cloud network traffic within the same region and availability zone, using the context of AWS as an example. The author points out that traffic within the same availability zone is free, but traffic across availability zones within the same region is charged. However, since availability zones are isolated from each other, using multiple zones can provide better fault tolerance. The author also underlines the importance of understanding the nuances of cloud pricing models to optimize costs effectively. He also stresses the necessity of taking data transfer costs into consideration when designing cloud architectures.

Why Do You Need a Cloud-native Web Application Firewall (WAF)?

The article reviews the concept of Cloud-Native Web Application Firewalls (WAF), emphasizing their importance in today's cloud-based infrastructure. It highlights the features and benefits of cloud-native WAFs, including their adaptability, scalability, automation, and integration capabilities, which are essential for managing security threats in cloud environments. The article also explains how cloud-native WAFs leverage machine learning to enhance security by identifying patterns and preventing attacks. However, while the content is informative, it lacks detailed insights into various cloud-native WAF providers in the market, making it less useful for readers interested in making informed choices about specific products. The article would also benefit from real-world examples or case studies demonstrating the effective use of cloud-native WAFs. Overall, it serves as a good starting point for understanding the relevance and advantages of cloud-native WAFs, especially for businesses migrating their infrastructure to the cloud.
