HNCOST04-BP03 Implement compression and caching for repetitive data transfers
Reduce data transfer volumes by compressing in-transit data and caching frequently accessed content at the edge.
Desired outcome: Reduction in data transfer volumes and associated costs.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: Low
Benefits of establishing this best practice:
-
Lower bandwidth consumption
-
Faster transfer times
-
Reduced storage costs for compressed data
Implementation guidance
-
Enable compression for payloads
-
Configure TTL for static assets in content delivery network such as Amazon CloudFront
-
Use compression for file/volume syncs using services such as AWS Storage Gateway
