‫Now let's talk about AWS WaveLengths.
‫So, WaveLength Zones are infrastructure deployments,
‫embedded within the telecommunications providers'
‫datacenters at the edge of 5G networks.
‫The idea is that whenever you see 5G in your questions,
‫this is most likely going to be WaveLength,
‫but let's go a little bit deeper in this.
‫So the idea is that you're able to deploy some AWS services
‫directly to the edge on the 5G networks.
‫For example, you can deploy easy two instances,
‫EBS volumes, even VPC to a WaveLength Zone.
‫So, say you have a, for example
‫a telecom carrier, has a 5G network
‫and you're going to have a WaveLength Zone
‫and through a carrier gateway, you're able to
‫actually deploy an easy two instance on that Zone.
‫But that zone belongs to the 5G network itself,
‫so that whenever a user on the 5G for a mobile device
‫accesses your WaveLength Zone,
‫they have really, really low latency
‫because the application is really deployed at the edge.
‫So, this is the whole idea behind WaveLength is to
‫give ultra-low latency to applications through 5G networks.
‫The traffic, for example, in this example,
‫never leaves the Communication Service Provider,
‫the CSP network.
‫It actually never reaches AWS, but in case you
‫do need to have a secure connection to AWS, we can.
‫So, the wavelength zone is connected to the parent region.
‫In case, for example, your easy two instances
‫in your WaveLength Zone needs to access a database.
‫For example, RDS or DynamoDB,
‫within your main parents, AWS Region.
‫There is no additional charges
‫or service agreements for using WaveLength.
‫And the use cases for this are multiple.
‫This is to have Smart Cities, ML-assisted diagnostics,
‫ConnectedVehicles, Interactive Live Video Streams,
‫AR and VR, Real-time Gaming.
‫Anything that requires really low latency
‫and to be very, very close at the edge to your users.
‫And this is a use case enabled by 5G.
‫So, I hope you liked it
‫and I will see you in the next lecture.
