Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide

This is official Amazon Web Services (AWS) documentation for Amazon Route 53.

This developer guide provides you with an overview of Amazon Route 53 and shows you how to create new domains and subdomains in Route 53 and migrate existing domains and subdomains to Route 53. This guide also explains how to work with hosted zones and resource record sets.

Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service that developers can use to connect user requests to infrastructure running in AWS such as an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, an Amazon Elastic Load Balancer, or an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket. Amazon Route 53 can also be used to route users to infrastructure outside of AWS.
