Some organizations deploy all or parts of an application solution through their own infrastructure instead of third party hosting providers like AWS or Google Cloud Platform. The following is a sample of IP addresses on the Apple Network.

Applications often use various third party platforms for providing authentication, advertising, website hosting, cybersecurity, e-mail services and more. The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms used by Apple are summarized below.

SaaS solutions are often deployed on multiple IPs across different geographical points-of-presence. In addition, it is common for these IP addresses to be shared by multiple applications. A sample IP is provided below.

Hosting vendors like AWS and Microsoft Azure provide cloud-based computing and network resources to deliver applications. The hosting platforms used by Apple are summarized below by geographical points-of-presence (PoP).

Each PoP can host many IPs to deliver an application. A sample IP is provided.

Apple uses its own in-house edge content delivery network (CDN). The CDN delivers content to very edge of the network and is often hosted inside Internet Service Provider (ISP) networks.

In order to get information to end users more quickly, many applications are distributed from multiple geographical points-of-presence (PoPs) using Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). Each PoP can host many IPs to deliver an application. A sample IP is provided.

Take special note of CDNs that use Anycast technology. Anycast makes it possible to route a single IP address to a variety of different geographic locations. In other words, one global Anycast IP is hosted in multiple geographic locations.
