It help us increase dependability by rerouting our DNS to an alternate destination if the original application endpoint becomes unavailable.

Amazon Route 53 on Amazon Traffic Flow directs the traffic depending on a variety of factors, including endpoint health, geographic location, and latency which we set up various traffic regulations and choose which ones to use at any given moment.

We can build and change traffic policies via the Route 53 interface, AWS SDKs, or the Route 53 API using the easy visual editor So, the versioning function in Traffic Flow keeps track of changes to traffic policies, allowing us to quickly roll back to a prior version through the interface or API and thus it provides flexibility.
