It was launched in 2010. It is a DNS(Domain Name System) service provided by Amazon Web Services(). It is used for connecting user requests to infrastructure running on the Amazon Web Services like S3 Buckets, Amazon EC2 Instances, CloudFront, and ELB (Elastic Load Balancing) Load Balancer. It can also connect users’ requests to infrastructures other than AWS. It also has a health check service. It can detect the failure and redirect the user to a different server location. The application runs smoothly. Its infrastructure is spread all across the globe and its distributed groundwork is the reason for its 100% availability. Amazon Route 53 Features make it the best in the market.
Features:
It has features like traffic flow and routing control to redirect users to an alternate convenient location. Routing control is the feature that diverts the incoming traffic from the original application to its duplicate instance. The redirecting of traffic flow is done by health checks.
It allows you to create and customize your own traffic policies.
The criteria based on which Route 53 directs traffic to your server are Endpoint health, Geographic location of the user, Geo Proximity (Based on the location of the resources), Failover rule, etc. Through this, you can create multiple traffic policies and track the changes made in a particular traffic policy.
You can also restore the previous versions without those changes. Route 53 console, AWS SDKs, or the Route 53 API are used for creating a traffic policy.
It is highly scalable.
It has pay as you go, model, hence it is cost-effective.
It is compatible with all other AWS infrastructures like Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon S3 buckets, Amazon Cloud front distributions, and other AWS resources.
Route 53 also protects your DNS queries and also filters outbound DNS traffics.
It has IP-based routing. It can route you to a specific endpoint that you specify based on the end user’s geographic location.
It also offers domain registration services where you can register your domain name and also search for available options. You can manage your domain names on your internal AWS resources without exposing your DNS data to any public Internet.
It can automatically route your website visitors to an alternate location to avoid site outages.
You can get all these Amazon Route 53 benefits without much coding language as it doesn't require coding.
