Unicast vs Anycast IP
Unicast IP: 1 server hold 1 IP address
Anycast IP: all servers hold same IP and client routed to nearest one
Global Accelerator
leverage AWS internal network to route to your app
2 Anycast IP created for your app
The Anycast IP send traffic directly to Edge Locations > Edge locations send to your app
Works with Elastic IP, EC2 instances, ALB, NLB, public or private
Consistent Performance
Intelligent routing to lowest latency and fast regional failover
No issue with client cache (because IP doesn't change)
Internal AWS network
Health checks
Global Accelerator performs a health check of your apps
Help make your app global

CloudFront
Improve performance for both cacheable content
Dynamic content
Content is served at the Edge
Global Accelerator
Improve performance for a wide range of apps over TCP or UDP
Proxying packets at the edge to app running in 1 or more AWS Regions
Good fit for non-HTTP use cases: gaming(UDP), IoT(MQTT) or Voice over IP
Good for HTTP use cases require static IP address
Good for HTTP use cases require deterministic, fast regional failover
