Features

Highly Available and Scalable

Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable cloud Domain Name System (DNS) web service.

Customize DNS Routing Policies

You can use Amazon Route 53 to configure DNS health checks to route traffic to healthy endpoints or to independently monitor the health of your application and its endpoints. Amazon Route 53 enables you to manage traffic within China or globally through a variety of routing types, including Latency Based Routing, and Weighted Round Robin — all of which can be combined with DNS Failover in order to enable a variety of low-latency, fault-tolerant architectures.

Cost-Effective

It is designed to give developers and businesses an extremely reliable and cost effective way to route end users to Internet applications by translating names like www.example.com into 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.

Deep Integration With Amazon Web Services

Amazon Route 53 effectively connects user requests to infrastructure running in Amazon Web Services – such as Amazon EC2 instances, Elastic Load Balancing load balancers – and can also be used to route users to infrastructure outside of Amazon Web Services.

Benefits

Designed for Use With Other Amazon Web Services

Amazon Route 53 is designed to work well with other Amazon Web Services features and offerings. You can use Amazon Route 53 to map domain names to your Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon S3 buckets, Amazon CloudFront distributions, and other Amazon Web Services resources. By using the Amazon 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 CloudFront distribution and VPC endpoint using a feature called Alias record.

Fast

Using a network of DNS servers, Amazon Route 53 is designed to automatically route your users to the optimal location depending on network conditions. As a result, the service offers low query latency for your end users, as well as low update latency for your DNS record management needs.

Scalable

Route 53 is designed to automatically scale to handle very large query volumes without any intervention from you.

Simplify the Hybrid Cloud

Amazon Route 53 Resolver provides recursive DNS for your Amazon VPC and on-premises networks over Amazon Direct Connect.

Highly Available and Reliable

Amazon Route 53 is built using Amazon Web Services highly available and reliable infrastructure. The distributed nature of our DNS servers helps ensure a consistent ability to route your end users to your application. Amazon Route 53 is designed to provide the level of dependability required by important applications. Amazon Route 53 is backed by the Amazon Route 53 Service Level Agreement.

Cost-Effective

Amazon Route 53 passes on the benefits of Amazon Web Services 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 health checks, all at a low cost and without minimum usage commitments or any up-front fees.

Simple

With self-service sign-up, Amazon Route 53 can start to answer your DNS queries within minutes. You can configure your DNS settings with the Amazon Management Console or our easy-to-use API. You can also programmatically integrate the Amazon Route 53 API into your overall web application. For instance, you can use Amazon Route 53’s API to create a new DNS record whenever you create a new EC2 instance.

Secure

By integrating Amazon Route 53 with Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM), you can grant unique credentials and manage permissions for every user within your Amazon Web Services account and specify who has access to which parts of the Amazon Route 53 service. When you enable Amazon Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall, you can configure it to inspect outbound DNS requests against a list of known malicious domains.
