Configuring Route 53

AWS Route 53 provides domain name registration service, DNS, and a health-checking service for your application. There are SDKs available for many popular programming languages, including Java, Python, NodeJS, Go, .Net, and PHP. If you have a VPC, you can make use of a Private Hosted Zone for Amazon VPC. Using this private DNS, your resources are not accessible outside the VPC. Route 53 supports latency-based routing, if your application is hosted on two different AWS data centers, when the user makes a request, Amazon Route 53 chooses to respond to the DNS query based on which data center gives your user the lowest latency.
