What is the purpose of DNS route 53 and what functions does it perform?
Magento uses Amazon Route 53 to connect user requests to appropriate hosting servers encrypted by ssl certificate
AWS Shield
AWS Shield Standard
AWS resources automatically have AWS Shield Standard enabled at no charge. It defends against common network and transport layer DDoS attacks targeting your hosting for Magento websites.
AWS Shield Advanced
AWS Shield Advanced offers a higher level of defence against attacks on Magento sites. It includes Elastic IP, Elastic Load Balancing, and Amazon CloudFront.
In what ways does AWS Shield help you to protect your data?
AWS Shield is a fully managed Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection service to minimize application downtime and latency.
Web Server
Lightweight Architecture
The lightweight architecture handles high and fluctuating data loads. It is consistent in RAM, and CPU usage.
Maximum Performance
With an increased number of concurrent connections per second, you need fast load speeds. The response time of NGINX is up to ten times faster than that of Apache.
What are the working principle of NGINX?
One master process controls many worker processes in NGINX’s event-driven architecture.
Dedicated Database Server
High Durability and Availability
Amazon RDS enables point-in-time recovery for the database instance with automated backups. Multi-AZ deployments offer enhanced availability and durability for database instances.
Network Isolation
Run the database instances in Amazon VPC to isolate the database in a virtual network secured by dedicated firewalls. Configure firewall settings and control network access to the database instances.
In what ways does Amazon RDS work in conjunction with Magento?
Amazon Relational Database Service is a managed web service based on open-source MySQL.
Test Server
Isolated System
You can debug and make changes in an isolated environment on the test system.
Zero Downtime
Magento’s ecommerce platform relies heavily on performance and site availability. The test server ensures that the code works well and does not affect response times.
Test new features or detect bugs
The Test System is a clone of the production system. You can test changes/settings or new extensions without touching anything on the live site.
Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Reduce Latency
Deliver data through 410+ globally distributed Points of Presence (PoPs) to reduce latency. Get automated network mapping and intelligent routing.
Improved Security
Advanced security with traffic encryption and access controls. Use the AWS Shield Standard to defend against DDoS attacks.
What is the working principle of CDN?
CloudFront delivers the content through a worldwide network of AWS data centers called edge locations. When a user requests the content, Cloudfront routes it to the edge location that offers the lowest latency.

FAQs
Better performance.
You can improve performance by separating the web server and the database server. This way, each instance can be sized and configured for its role, rather than having to share resources.
Better security.
Having the web server and database server on separate instances can reduce the attack surface of each instance. For example, if the web server is compromised, the attacker would not have access to the database server and its data.
Better flexibility.
Separate instances for the web server and database server, will help you scale each on its own when needed. In this way, you can provide that your Magento hosting plan is always responsive, even during peak traffic times.
Testing and validating changes
You can use the test/dev instance to test and validate your changes before deploying them to production. It will help you ensure the changes are reliable and do not cause problems in production.
Debugging and troubleshooting
It’s a great way to replicate the production environment and troubleshoot issues with your Magento installs.
Staging new releases
If you’re preparing to release a new version of, you can use the test/dev instance as a staging area. A Staging system should be included in the hosting services.
Training and experimentation
Test/dev instances can also be used to experiment with new features and technologies or to practice and develop team skills.
Easier maintenance
Finally, having a test/dev instance makes it easier for patches and software upgrades for customers.
Our managed service has no additional fee. The rest of the test/dev system is available for free, and we provide scripts to help you reset the system on your own.
The MGT Code Deploy feature is a deployment hosting solution specifically designed for Magento stores running on AWS. It automates the deployment process for development, test, and production environments with zero downtime.
Select the environment you want to deploy from the top right corner of the Magento Code Deploy interface.
To create a new deployment, you must first navigate to the “Deployments” tab and click on “New Deployment.” You need to enter your Git username and password, then select a branch or tag to deploy.
The bottom of the form has the option to choose “After Deployment Commands.” This will be executed once the deployment is finished.
The Magento Code Deploy software will do the following:
1. Cloning the Git.
2. Validating the Git.
3. Executing any defined “After Clone Commands” for Magento 2
Magento Code Deploy will distribute the deployment package to each instance once the package has been built. Finally, all instances will receive the latest version by switching a symlink.
After the symlink has been switched, the defined “After Switch Commands” will be executed, such as reloading PHP-FPM. Code Deploy will create a deployment package and send it to each instance after running the selected “After Deployment Commands”.
All instances will get the latest version by switching a symlink. After the symlink is switched, the “After Switch Commands” will be run, such as reloading PHP-FPM.
Lastly, the “After Deployment Commands” will be run, including clearing Magento caches and purging Varnish caches.
