AWS Route53: A Beginner’s Guide

Image
Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) service that plays a crucial role in connecting user requests to various services running in the AWS cloud. Whether you’re managing domain names, optimizing traffic flow, or ensuring high availability, Route 53 has got you covered. Key Components DNS Management: Route 53 allows you to register domain names and manage DNS records (like A, CNAME, and MX records). You can create hosted zones to organize your DNS records for different domains. Health checks monitor the availability of your resources (e.g., EC2 instances, S3 buckets) and automatically route traffic away from unhealthy endpoints. Traffic Management: Routing Policies: Simple Routing: Directs traffic to a single resource (e.g., an EC2 instance). Weighted Routing: Distributes traffic based on assigned weights (useful for A/B testing). Latency-Based Routing: Routes users to the lowest-latency endpoint. Geolocation Routing: Routes traffic based on user lo...
