AWS::GlobalAccelerator::Accelerator

• It reduces hops from client until the final destination

• The client now connects to an edge location and from there it goes through AWS internal network to the application

• Unicast IP: one server holds one IP

• Anycast IP: all servers hold same IP. Client is forwarded to the closest

• Global Accelerator uses 2 anycast IPs for the application

• Global Accelerator is a good fit for non-HTTP use cases, such as gaming (UDP), IoT (MQTT), or Voice over IP.
