Availability monitoring (health check)
Registration of domain

AWS Route 53
Route 53 performs three main functions

(i) Register a domain


(ii) As a DNS, it routes internet traffic to the resources for your domain
(iii) Check the health of your resources
(i) Route 53 sends the automated requests over the internet to a
resource (can be a webserver) to verify that server is reachable,
functional and available.
(ii) Also you can choose to receive notification when a resource
becomes unavailable and choose to route internet traffic away from
unhealthy resources.

AWS Route 53
 When you register a domain with route 53,the service automatically
makes itself the DNS service for the domain by doing the following-

 It creates a hosted zone that has the same name as your domain

 It assigns a set of four name servers to the hosted zone, unique to the
account.
 When someone uses a browser to access your website, the name
server inform the browser where to find your resources, such as a
web server or an amazon S3 bucket.
 It gets the name server from the hosted zone and add them to the
domain

 Using Route 53 as your service

 You can use route 53 as the DNS service for any domain, even if the
TLD for the domain is not included on the supported TLD list

 Note- Each amazon Route 53 account is limited to a maximum of


500 hosted zones and 10,000 resource record sets per hosted zone.
You can increase this limit by requesting to AWS.

 A record set (now called a DNS record) in Amazon Route 53 is a


configuration that maps a domain name (like example.com) to an IP
address, AWS service, or another domain.

1.You register a domain (e.g., example.com) or use an existing one.

2.You create a hosted zone for that domain in Route 53.

3.Route 53 provides a set of name servers, which you update at your


domain registrar.

4.You add DNS records (A, CNAME, etc.) to route traffic to websites,
applications, or AWS services.
