Overview of Amazon Route 53 concepts

Amazon Route 53 provides a facility to register domain names, a Domain Name System (DNS) service so that domain names are translated into IP addresses, and does it also supplies health checks, by sending automated requests to the application so that its availability is reached:

For your website to have a global reach and brand value, it should have a name. This is the domain name that users use to visit your website. Amazon Route 53 provides the facility to register domain names. There are situations where you must have purchased the domain name from other providers; in such cases, you can optionally transfer it to Amazon Route 53. Amazon Route 53 uses CloudWatch alarms to monitor the health of resources such as web servers and email servers.
