3. Agenda
Ø Monoliths and Microservices in a nutshell
Ø “Breaking the Bad” Monoliths
Ø Developer’s Conundrum with Network and Application Portion
Ø VPC Lattice Basics and Security
Ø Lattice…in the context of Microservices
Ø Reference architectures for placing Microservices with Lattice
Ø App Dependency
Ø Blue/Green Deployment with VPC Lattice
Ø Path/Host based Routing with VPC Lattice

4. Basic Concepts and Definitions
Completely
independent
Monolith Microservices
Miniservices
?

5. “Breaking the Bad” Monoliths
Ø Business capability
Ø Sub-domain
Ø Transactions
Ø Service per team pattern
Ø Strangler fig pattern
Ø Branch by abstraction pattern

6. Give service teams their own sandbox
Network and permission boundaries with VPCs and accounts

Microservice 1 Microservice 3
Microservice 2 Microservice 4

8. How do we make it simpler for
developers to deploy and connect
microservices with zero trust?

9. Amazon
Bridging the gap between admins and developers

10. Amazon VPC Lattice concepts
S E R V I C E - A W A R E N E T W O R K I N G
Service directory
• Centralized registry of services
Service network
• Define logical boundary defined across VPCs and accounts
• Apply common access and observability policy
Auth policies
• Declarative policies for access, observability, and traffic
management
• Applied at the service, gateway, or the application network
level
Amazon VPC
Service A
Amazon EKS
Service B
Amazon VPC
Amazon
EC2
Service C
Lambda
Service
• Unit of application
• Extends across all compute resources: instances, containers,
serverless

11. VPC Lattice Security
14
Service and VPC Association Network Layer Controls VPC Lattice Auth Policy
Service and VPC association with
a service network. If a VPC or
specific service is not associated
with the service network, clients in
the VPC will not have access to
the service.
Network-level security protections
for the service network. Use
Network ACLs or place a Security
Group (SG) on the VPC to
service network association
VPC Lattice auth policy can be applied on
service networks and individual services.
Typically operated by the network or cloud
administrator, and they will implement
coarse-grained authorization
