1. Local Zone 是 Parent Region 在 Metro Area 的延伸，面向 Latency-sensitive Application
时间范围：00:00–00:35
总结 / Summary
中文
AWS Local Zone 是 AWS 在特定 Metropolitan Area 部署的基础设施，作为 Parent AWS Region 的延伸，把部分 Compute、Storage、Database 与其他受支持服务放得更靠近 End User 或本地 Data Center。它适合对单程/往返延迟敏感的 Media、Gaming、VDI、Real-time Analytics 等 Workload，但不是独立 Region，也不是普通 Availability Zone 的简单同义词。API/Control Plane 通常仍归属 Parent Region，服务范围、Quota 与价格按具体 Local Zone 而异。
English
An AWS Local Zone is AWS infrastructure deployed in a metropolitan area as an extension of a parent AWS Region. It places selected compute, storage, database, and other supported services closer to end users or local data centers. It fits latency-sensitive media, gaming, VDI, and real-time analytics workloads, but it is neither an independent Region nor merely another name for a standard Availability Zone. APIs and control planes generally remain associated with the parent Region, while services, quotas, and pricing vary by Local Zone.
Transcript
00:00 Here's something that the exam now asks you,
00:02 which is about AWS Local Zones.
00:05 So the idea is that we have these availabilities zones
00:08 and these regions all around the world,
00:10 but now there's the concept of local zones,
00:12 which allows you to place compute storage database
00:14 and other services that are selected by database
00:16 closer to end users,
00:18 to run latency sensitive applications.
00:20 So the idea is that you will extend your AWS region
00:24 to one or more locations, one or more
00:26 quote-unquote availability zones,
00:27 one or more. Then they're called,
00:29 they're actually called local zones.
00:31 So this is compatible with EC2, RDS,
00:33 ECS, EBS, ElastiCache, Direct Connect and so on.
2. 在现有 VPC 中创建 Local Zone Subnet，把应用数据面延伸到城市边缘
时间范围：00:35–01:10
总结 / Summary
中文
Local Zone 的核心网络模型是延伸现有 VPC：VPC 仍属于 Parent Region，用户在 Local Zone 中创建 Subnet，并把受支持的 EC2 或其他 Resource 放入该 Subnet。Route Table、Security Group、NACL、DNS 与 VPC CIDR 规则仍适用；若应用依赖留在 Parent Region 的 Database、Control Plane 或 Shared Service，跨区 Round Trip 会重新进入延迟预算。课程列出的 EC2、RDS、ECS、EBS、ElastiCache、Direct Connect 等只是录制时示例，不能假定每个 Local Zone 都支持同一集合。
English
The core networking model extends an existing VPC. The VPC remains in the parent Region, while customers create a subnet in a Local Zone and place supported EC2 instances or other resources there. Route tables, security groups, NACLs, DNS, and VPC CIDR rules still apply. If an application depends on databases, control planes, or shared services left in the parent Region, those cross-zone round trips re-enter the latency budget. The lecture's EC2, RDS, ECS, EBS, ElastiCache, and Direct Connect list is a recording-time example, not a universal service set for every Local Zone.
Transcript
00:35 And so here's an example,
00:36 and we'll see this in the hands on very quickly.
00:38 So there's a region Northern Virginia, US-East-1,
00:41 and has six AZ by default,
00:43 but you can extend these AZs with more local zones.
00:47 So we have Boston Chicago, Dallas, Houston,
00:50 Miami, and so on.
00:51 So how does that work? Well, here's your region,
00:53 US-east-1 with two AZs,
00:54 but it's possible for you to define a local zone in Boston
00:58 and then extend your VPC
01:00 to be going across these AZs and local zones.
01:04 And then you would be able to launch an EC2 instance
01:06 into this local zone.
01:08 Now that may be confusing, So let's go into the console
3. 先为 Account Opt in Zone Group；城市与 Zone Code 会随时间变化
时间范围：01:10–02:29
总结 / Summary
中文
Local Zone 通常需要在相关 Parent Region 中按 Account 对 Zone Group 执行 Opt-in，随后才可在对应 Zone Code 中创建资源。控制台演示从 Region 设置页查看并启用 Boston Zone Group；这里的城市列表、Zone Name、Availability 与 Console UI 都具有时效性。跨 Account 架构还应统一使用 Availability Zone ID，而不要依赖可能因 Account 而映射不同的 AZ Name。启用 Zone Group 本身不等于获得所有 Instance Type、容量或 Service Quota。
English
Local Zones commonly require an account-level opt-in to the relevant zone group in the parent Region before resources can be created in its zone code. The console demo views and enables the Boston zone group, but its city list, zone names, availability, and UI are time-sensitive. Cross-account designs should use Availability Zone IDs rather than relying on AZ names whose mappings can differ by account. Enabling a zone group does not guarantee every instance type, capacity level, or service quota.
Transcript
01:10 to see how that works.
01:12 So I am in the EC2 console
01:14 and let me first pick a region
01:15 that does not have local zone.
01:17 For example, let me pick, let me pick Europe, Ireland.
01:20 So I'm going to pick Europe, Ireland and then under settings
01:22 right here, there is zones.
01:24 So I'm going to click on zones, as you can see,
01:26 in Ireland, we have three AZs right here.
01:29 They're enabled by default, and this is it.
01:32 There's no local zone, nothing else, right?
01:34 But if I switch to US-East-1 for Northern Virginia,
01:39 as we can see now we have a lot of options.
01:41 We have local zones, and then if I scroll down,
01:43 we have wavelength zones,
01:46 and then we have the availability zones.
01:48 So we have six AZ in US-East-1.
01:50 Okay? So there are enabled by default,
01:53 but our focus right now is local zones.
01:55 We can enable a local zone, for example,
01:57 if we knew that we had users in Boston and we really,
02:00 really want them to have low-latency access to our
02:03 applications directly from Boston,
02:05 then we can enable the local zone in Boston.
02:08 So I will manage this
02:09 and then I will enable this local zone
02:12 and update the zone group. And then I will say, yes, enable.
02:16 So now Boston is actually going to be enabled.
02:20 So let me just wait for it to take effect.
02:22 So I just refresh, and as you can see now,
02:24 the US East Boston, so US-East-1-Boston-1, is enabled.
4. Subnet CIDR 必须属于 VPC 且不重叠；HA 不能默认靠单个 Local Zone 获得
时间范围：02:29–03:53
总结 / Summary
中文
启用 Local Zone 后，在 VPC 中创建 Subnet 并选择该 Local Zone；示例 172.31.96.0/20 只是演示值，必须落在 VPC CIDR 内且不与现有 Subnet 重叠。部署 EC2 时还需选择该 Subnet、受支持的 Instance Type，并验证容量、Route、Security 与本地/Region 依赖。单个 Local Zone 可能只是一个 Failure Domain，不能自动获得 Multi-AZ Resilience；高可用通常需要跨多个 Local Zone、标准 AZ 或回退 Parent Region。Local Zones 适合 AWS-owned Metro Edge；Wavelength 面向 CSP 5G Edge，Outposts 则把 AWS Infrastructure 放在客户场地。
English
After opt-in, create a VPC subnet and select the Local Zone. The demo's 172.31.96.0/20 is only an example; the CIDR must belong to the VPC and not overlap existing subnets. EC2 deployment also requires the Local Zone subnet, a supported instance type, sufficient capacity, routes, security, and validated local or regional dependencies. A single Local Zone may be one failure domain and does not automatically provide Multi-AZ resilience; high availability may require multiple Local Zones, standard AZs, or failback to the parent Region. Local Zones provide AWS-owned metro edge infrastructure, Wavelength targets CSP 5G edge locations, and Outposts places AWS infrastructure on customer premises.
Transcript
02:29 And so what that means is that if I go into my instances
02:33 and launch an instance, choose Amazon Linux 2,
02:36 and then T2 micro, just to show you.
02:40 Then in the instance details, in terms of network,
02:44 we have our VPC, editors of subnets,
02:47 We still have our six subnets,
02:48 but it's possible for us to create a new subnet.
02:51 And this is quite advanced so,
02:53 you don't have to follow along with me if you don't
02:54 understand what I'm doing, but we choose the subnets.
02:57 We'll call it Boston subnets.
03:01 And for the AZ, I can actually choose
03:03 my US-East-1-Boston-1 subnets.
03:06 And now for the CIDR blocks.
03:08 So don't worry if you don't understand,
03:09 this is really advanced,
03:10 and this is not going to be asked at the exams.
03:12 I will choose 172.31.96.0/20.
03:17 Don't ask me why.
03:18 this is more advanced than the networking bits of AWS.
03:21 But I just want to show you that we can create a subnet and
03:23 associate it with a local zone.
03:26 Okay, so we are creating a subnet.
03:29 It's successful. Now back into my launch wizard.
03:32 I can just refer to the PC
03:34 and then here I have the option
03:36 to choose my bus and subnets.
03:38 So that's it really, I will not go ahead
03:39 with creating these two instance,
03:41 but at least you saw that it is possible
03:42 for us to extend our VPC to local zones,
03:44 and therefore deploy EC2 instances closer to our users.
03:48 That's it for this lecture.
03:49 I hope you understand now what local zones are,
03:51 and I will see you in the next lecture.
整讲总结 / Overall Summary
中文
Local Zones 的考试关键词是 Metropolitan Edge、Parent Region Extension、VPC Subnet、Zone Group Opt-in 与 Low Latency。它把受支持的 AWS Resource 放到城市边缘，但 VPC、控制面和很多依赖仍归 Parent Region。设计时核对当前 Service/Capacity、CIDR、Routing、Security 与 Failure Domain，不要把录制时城市列表当成永久事实。
English
Local Zones exam keywords are metropolitan edge, parent-Region extension, VPC subnet, zone-group opt-in, and low latency. They place supported AWS resources at the metro edge while the VPC, control plane, and many dependencies remain tied to the parent Region. Verify current services and capacity, CIDRs, routing, security, and failure domains rather than treating the recorded city list as permanent.
