What is Route 53?
3
Route 53 is AWS’s authoritative Domain Name (DNS) service
DNS translates domain names (like www.amazon.com) into IP addresses – think of it as a “phone book” for the internet
DNS is a Tier-0 service – availability is most important
We chose the name “Route 53″ as a play on the fact that DNS servers respond to queries on port 53

Route 53’s Key Features
6
High Availability
DNS
• Highly available and scalable DNS service.
• Map the root or apex of your hosted zone to your Elastic Load Balancer.
• Run applications in multiple AWS regions and route users to the one that provides the lowest latency.
• Specify the frequency with which different responses are served.
Alias Records
Weighted Round Robin

Latency Based Routing (LBR)
7
Run multiple stacks of your application in different EC2 regions around the world
Create LBR records using the Route 53 API or Console
• Tag each destination end-point to the EC2 region that it’s in • End-points can either be EC2 instances, Elastic IPs or ELBs
Route 53 will route end users to the end-point that provides the lowest latency

LBR Benefits
8
Better performance than running in a single region
Improved reliability relative to running in a single region
Easier implementation than traditional DNS solutions
Much lower prices than traditional DNS solutions

foursquare
foursquare builds tools that help you keep up with friends, discover what’s nearby, save money and unlock deals.
“We wanted to eliminate the need to provision our own DNS servers. We also use ELB, and needed a solution that would let us handle DNS requests for the apex of our domain. Route 53 gave us these features, and we could use its programmatic API to automate everything into our workflow”

Affine
Affine provides a Contextual Targeting Platform for online video advertising.
“Our customers bid on video ad inventory in real time and our system must evaluate the content they're sponsoring and respond with a decision in less than 50ms, or they'll lose the auction. Route 53’s Latency Based Routing lets us easily run multiple stacks of our whole targeting platform in each AWS region so we can meet our customers latency needs.”
Revolutionary Technology that delivers certainty to Advertisers and Agencies

Avos
In 2011, Avos systems acquired multiple domains from Yahoo associated with delicious.com, a social bookmarking site. They selected Route 53 because its management console and ELB integration made it easy to migrate these sites to AWS infrastructure.
“Route 53 made it very easy to migrate our user traffic and we were able to move all the properties to AWS on a Saturday morning. Additionally, the Route 53 console made it very easy to migrate especially with how well integrated it is with AWS’ Elastic Load Balancers”

Academia.edu
Academia.edu is a platform for academics to share research papers.
“We run front-end servers for our site in 5 regions around the world using Latency Based Routing. Since we’ve implemented this, we’ve reduced page load times for our end users by 1-2 seconds. We also learned which servers the majority of users were near (in terms of latency) which is making us rethink our general server deployment strategy.”
