A concept that has changed infrastructure architecture is now at the core of both AWS and customer reliability and operations. Powering the virtual instances and other resources that make up the AWS Cloud are real physical data centers with AWS servers in them. We launched with three autonomous Availability Zones in our US East (N.

Each cloud computing provider has “opinionated” ways of handling things such as load balancing, elastic scaling, service discovery, data access, and security to name just a few. Cloud architectures hold great promise in the ability to promote applications to new heights in ubiquity and scale.

Insights into Data Center Infrastructure, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing. When a new server (physical or virtual) is created, much of this infrastructure also has to be provisioned to support it. That is, I/O is virtualized, networking is frequently converged (i.e. a Fabric), and network switches, load balancers, etc.

The specific terminology involved is that the virtual switches become a VTEP, a virtual tunnel end-point.
