[AWS Cloud Fundamental Notes] Route 53
Introduction to Route 53 and its usage and operational mechanism
Provide domain name purchase, domain name resolution forwarding, system health checks, and traffic forwarding.
Domain Purchase and Rental Service
You can purchase a domain name and bind it to a specified server.
DNS
graph LR; foo.com.tw--CName-->bar.com.tw; bar.com.tw--A Record-->Instance(192.0.6.9)
A Record
Directly points the domain name to the server’s IP address.
CName
Maps the domain name to another domain name.
Alias
Underlying technology uses A Record. AWS assigns a random domain name to instances.
Through Alias, you can directly select the service entity as the forwarding target.
Traffic Distribution
Health Check
Check if the server is functioning properly through Health Check.

Common Strategies
- Failover Routing Policy:
- Points to primary and standby resources. Automatically switches to standby resources when the primary resources fail.
- Latency Routing Policy:
- Forwards traffic to servers in different regions based on user connection latency.
- Geolocation Routing Policy:
- Selects resources for service traffic based on the user’s geographical location.
