AWS Route 53 - Routing Policies¶

• Define how AWS Route 53 responds to [[DNS queries]]
• Don't get confused by the word "Routing"
  • It's not the same as [[Load Balancer]] routing which routes the traffic
  • [[DNS]] does not route any traffic, it only responds to [[DNS queries]]
• Route 53 supports the following routing policies
  • Simple Routing Policy
  • Weighted Routing Policy
  • Failover Routing Policy
  • Latency based Routing Policy
  • Geolocation Routing Policy
  • Multi-Value Routing Policy
  • Geolocation Routing Policy (using [[Route 53 Traffic Flow]] feature)
