Amazon Route 53

It is intended to give developers and businesses a very dependable and cost active way to route end users to Internet plans by translating names like www.example.cominto the numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other. Amazon Route 53 is fully compliant with IPv6 as well.

AmazonRoute 53 successfully connects user requests to infrastructure running in AWS –such as Amazon EC2 instances, Elastic Load Balancing load balancers, or AmazonS3 buckets – and can also be used to route users to infrastructure outside ofAWS. You can use Amazon Route 53 to configure DNS health checks to routetraffic to healthy endpoints or to independently monitor the health of yourapplication and its endpoints. Amazon Route 53 Traffic Flow makes it easy foryou to manage traffic globally through a variety of routing types, includingLatency Based Routing, Geo DNS, Geoproximity, and Weighted Round Robin—all ofwhich can be combined with DNS Failover in order to enable a variety oflow-latency, fault-tolerant architectures. Using Amazon Route 53 Traffic Flow’ssimple visual editor, you can easily manage how your end-users are routed toyour application’s endpoints—whether in a single AWS region or distributedaround the globe. Amazon Route 53 also offers Domain Name Registration – youcan purchase and manage domain names such as example.com and Amazon Route 53will automatically configure DNS settings for your domains.

Highly available and reliable:

Amazon Route is built using AWS’s highly available and reliable infrastructure. The distributed nature of our DNS servers helps ensure consistents to route your end-user to your application. Features such as AmazonRoute 53 Traffic Flow helps you improve reliability with easy configuration of failover to re-rote your users to an alternate location if your primary application endpoint becomes unavailable. Amazon Route 53 designed to provide the level of dependability required by the important applications.Amazon Route 53backed by the Amazon Route 53 level Agreement.

Flexible:

Amazon Route 53Traffic Flow routes traffic based on multiple criteria, such as endpoint health, geographic location, and latency. You can configure multiple traffic policies and decide which policies are active at any given time. You can create and edit traffic policies using the simple visual editor in the Route 53console, AWS SDKs, or the Route 53 API. Traffic Flow’s versioning feature maintains a history of changes to your traffic policies, so you can easily roll back to a previous version using the console or API.

Designed for use with other Amazon services:

Amazon Route 53 is designed to work well with other AWS features and offerings. You can use Amazon Route 53 to map domain names to your Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon S3 buckets, Amazon Cloud Front distributions, and other AWS resources. By using the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) service with Amazon Route 53, you get fine-grained control over who can update your DNS data. You can use Amazon Route 53 to map your zone apex (example.com versus www.example.com) to your Elastic Load Balancing instance, Amazon Cloud Front distribution, AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment, API Gateway, VPC endpoint, or Amazon S3 website bucket using a feature called Alias record.

Cost Effective:

Amazon Route 53 passes on the benefits of AWS’s scale to you.  You pay only for the resources you use, such as the number of queries that the service answers for each of your domains, hosted zones for managing domains through the service, and optional features such as traffic policies and health checks, all at a low cost and without minimum usage commitments or any up-front fees.
