AWS Route53

Overview

Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service. Route 53 is used to do the following main functions in any combination: domain registration, DNS routing, and health checking.

Health Check

Amazon Route 53 health checks monitor the health and performance of your web applications, web servers, and other resources. Each health check that you create can monitor one of the following:

• The health of a specified resource, such as a web server
• The status of other health checks
• The status of an Amazon CloudWatch alarm

Hosted Zone

A public hosted zone is a container that holds information about how you want to route traffic on the internet for a specific domain, such as example.com, and its subdomains (acme.example.com, zenith.example.com). After a hosted zone is created, records are then created to specify how to route traffic for the domain and subdomains.

Use the AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.
