Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Route 53

I have worked with AWS Route 53 in all the three of my Organizations in which I worked. Route 53 plays major role when it comes to create and serve the Website all over the world for DNS when created through Amazon web services also when you are website is hosted in less popular cloud providers. One best thing is we can use Route 53 service alone from AWS even though our website is hosted in any other Cloud Service Provider. And, as usual route 53 offers all types of Routing type which you can expect of also the cost is competitive for the scale it provides.
The main reason for backing up this service as per my advice it would be it interacts with anything service provider and setting up is kinda of easy also there isn't negligible downtime.
  • We can purchase our domain through Route 53 and can be hosted for cheaper prices in AWS.
  • There are many number of routing policies you can go ahead with and this will come into picture when the customer satisfaction is required at most, so choose routing policy accordingly.
  • As usual health checks are part of DNS systems, this is also provided at cheaper rates when total process is done in Route 53 service.
  • It can be used as standalone application from AWS
  • During initial setup when you are using Route 53 or DNS systems for very first time, there are little number of documentation from AWS which is kinda of little tough. But, once you get hold of it, its a cake walk for everyone.
  • Health checks are kinda of little costly when Compared to other big players, but that doesn't affect much when you compare its uses.
  • The logging is well structured though its costly
  • Faster DNS resolving capactiy
  • Negligible Downtime
  • Integration with other AWS services and cost effective
  • All the services of DNS in one umberablla
  • Domain registration and all the other services are used from Route 53, you will be able to get the cost cut from Amazon.
  • I would totally go with AWS Route 53 due to its security postures with which it comes with, this can be big deal.
  • As everyone know, Route 53 is paid service, so when you are an organization with many Accounts and use cases of AWS services. All your billing of your organization can be bundled in one, in this case you can minimize the tracking of bills separately also Amazon will be able to give more competitive cost plan, so your Route 53 cost will also be reduced.
Kinda of costly and doesn't have many services which Amazon is able to offer. And Route 53 is slightly faster than it.

Do you think Amazon Route 53 delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Amazon Route 53's feature set?

Yes

Did Amazon Route 53 live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Amazon Route 53 go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Amazon Route 53 again?

Yes

When you want the setup of DNS and domain registration to be done in couple of hours this will be the first place to go also the main reason for supporting the Route 53 service will be its integration with other AWS services should has CloudFront and SES services. With Route 53 and CloudFront combined you can have two layer of protection to your systems which will be one big thing when you see in terms of Cyber attacks.
