AWS Global Accelerator = TCP/UDP minimize latency

online game -> Global Accelerator cloudfront is for static/dynamic content caching

Set up AWS Global Accelerator with UDP listeners and endpoint groups in each Region.

Connect to up to 10 regions within the AWS global network using the AWS Global Accelerator.

General Q: What is AWS Global Accelerator? A: AWS Global Accelerator is a networking service that helps you improve the availability and performance of the applications that you offer to your global users. AWS Global Accelerator is easy to set up, configure, and manage. It provides static IP addresses that provide a fixed entry point to your applications and eliminate the complexity of managing specific IP addresses for different AWS Regions and Availability Zones. AWS Global Accelerator always routes user traffic to the optimal endpoint based on performance, reacting instantly to changes in application health, your user’s location, and policies that you configure. You can test the performance benefits from your location with a speed comparison tool. Like other AWS services, AWS Global Accelerator is a self-service, pay-per-use offering, requiring no long term commitments or minimum fees. https://aws.amazon.com/global-accelerator/faqs/

Global Accelerator supports the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), making it an excellent choice for an online multi-player game using UDP networking protocol. By setting up Global Accelerator with UDP listeners and endpoint groups in each Region, the network architecture can minimize latency and packet loss, giving end users a high-quality gaming experience.

AWS Global Accelerator is a service that improves the availability and performance of applications with local or global users. Global Accelerator improves performance for a wide range of applications over TCP or UDP by proxying packets at the edge to applications running in one or more AWS Regions. Global Accelerator is a good fit for non-HTTP use cases, such as gaming (UDP), IoT (MQTT), or Voice over IP, as well as for HTTP use cases that specifically require static IP addresses or deterministic, fast regional failover. Both services integrate with AWS Shield for DDoS protection.
