  1. Route 53 routing policies

    Simple, Failover, Geolocation, Geoproximity, Latency-based, Multivalue answer, and Weighted — each routes DNS responses differently.

  2. Latency-based routing

    Routes users to the Region that gives them the lowest network latency, improving performance for global applications.

  3. Geolocation vs Geoproximity

    Geolocation routes by the user's location; Geoproximity routes by the geographic distance between users and resources (with an adjustable bias).

  4. Weighted routing

    Splits traffic across resources by assigned weights — useful for A/B testing and phased rollouts.

  5. Amazon CloudFront

    A global content delivery network (CDN) that caches content at edge locations to reduce latency and offload origins.

  6. CloudFront edge caching

    On a cache miss the edge fetches from the origin and caches it; later requests are served from the edge — lower latency and origin load.

  7. Route 53 public vs private DNS

    Public hosted zones resolve names on the internet; private hosted zones resolve names within one or more VPCs.
