Route end users to your site reliably with globally-dispersed Domain Name System (DNS) servers and automatic scaling.
Amazon Route 53 ensures reliable and efficient routing of end users to your website by leveraging globally-dispersed Domain Name System (DNS) servers. With automatic scaling, the service dynamically adjusts to varying workloads, optimizing performance and maintaining a seamless user experience.
Set up your DNS routing in minutes with domain name registration and straightforward visual traffic flow tools.
Amazon Route 53 streamlines the setup of DNS routing by providing quick and easy domain name registration, complemented by straightforward visual traffic flow tools. This enables users to configure their DNS settings within minutes, simplifying the process of managing and directing web traffic efficiently.
Customize your DNS routing policies to reduce latency, improve application availability, and maintain compliance.
Amazon Route 53 allows users to tailor DNS routing policies to specific needs, such as reducing latency, enhancing application availability, and ensuring compliance. This customization empowers users to optimize their DNS configurations for performance, resilience, and adherence to regulatory requirements.
How it works
Amazon Route 53 provides highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS), domain name registration, and health-checking cloud services. 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 example.com into the numeric IP addresses, such as 192.0.2.1, that computers use to connect to each other. You can combine your Route 53 DNS with health-checking services to route traffic to healthy endpoints or to independently monitor and alarm on endpoints. You can also use the Traffic Flow visual policy builder to simplify the implementation of your routing policies, and you can purchase and manage domain names such as example.com and automatically configure DNS settings for your domains.
In addition, Route 53 Resolver provides a regional DNS service that performs recursive DNS lookups for names hosted in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), as well as public names on the internet. Lastly, the Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall allows you to block queries made for known or suspected malicious domains, and to allow queries for trusted domains when using the Route 53 Resolver for recursive DNS resolution.
Use cases
Manage network traffic globally
Create, visualize, and scale complex routing relationships between records and policies with easy-to-use global DNS features.
Build highly available applications
Set routing policies to pre-determine and automate responses in case of failure, like redirecting traffic to alternative Availability Zones or Regions.
Set up private DNS
Assign and access custom domain names in your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Use internal AWS resources and servers without exposing DNS data to the public Internet.
