Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Route 53

I am using amazon rote 53 as a delegated Nameserver from my primary DNS server. This is acting as a backup DNS incase if the primary goes down
  • high availability
  • easy to generate the hit count report
  • uptime
  • it took time initially to setup the synchronization from my primary DNS to route 53
  • cost is based on the usage/hit count
  • High availability
  • backup
  • cost effective
  • when our primary DNS provider went down, aws served as a backup and thus minimized the business impact
  • its working great for more than 7-8 years which is great
This was the POC that was done during the initial stage but we never put this in production

No

Did implementation of Amazon Route 53 go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Amazon Route 53 again?

Yes

when we had a issue with the primary DNS provider due to DDOS attack, the route 53 served all the DNS request and thus having a minimum impact to our business. There is no specific reason for choosing aws DNS but since we had this for almost 7 - 8 years , we never though of changing it to something else as we never encountered any issue with route 53
