[AWS] Route 53

Route 53 configures and manages domains: domain registration, DNS (Domain Name System) service, and health checking. – DNS uses port 53. That is how the name comes from.

  • Split-View DNS option (Hosted zones) allows maintaining both a private and a public hosted zone with the same domain name.
