Private DNS Server (Route 53)

Amazon Route 53 provides three main functions:


  • Domain registration
    • allows you to register domain names
  • Domain Name System (DNS) service
    • translates friendly domains names like www.example.com into IP addresses like 192.0.2.1
    • responds to DNS queries using a global network of authoritative DNS servers, which reduces latency
    • can route Internet traffic to CloudFront, Elastic Beanstalk, ELB, or S3. There’s no charge for DNS queries to these resources
  • Health checking
    • can monitor the health of resources such as web and email servers.
    • sends automated requests over the Internet to the application to
      verify that it’s reachable, available, and functional
    • CloudWatch alarms can be configured for the health checks to send notification when a resource becomes unavailable.
    • can be configured to route Internet traffic away from resources that are unavailable
