A company is planning to migrate its on-premises data analysis application to AWS. The application is hosted across a fleet of servers and requires consistent system time.

The company has established an AWS Direct Connect connection from its on-premises data center to AWS. The company has a high-precision stratum-0 atomic clock network appliance that acts as an NTP source for all on-premises servers.

After the migration to AWS is complete, the clock on all Amazon EC2 instances that host the application must be synchronized with the on-premises atomic clock network appliance.

Create an IPsec VPN tunnel from the on-premises atomic clock network appliance to the VPC to encrypt the traffic over the Direct Connect connection. Configure the VPC route tables to direct NTP traffic over the tunnel.

A company owns a chain of travel agencies and is running an application in the AWS Cloud. Company employees use the application to search for information about travel destinations. Destination content is updated four times each year.

Two fixed Amazon EC2 instances serve the application. The company uses an Amazon Route 53 public hosted zone with a multivalue record of travel.example.com that returns the Elastic IP addresses for the EC2 instances. The application uses Amazon DynamoDB as its primary data store. The company uses a self-hosted Redis instance as a caching solution.

During content updates, the load on the EC2 instances and the caching solution increases drastically. This increased load has led to downtime on several occasions.
