Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Route 53
Highly Available, scriptable DNS zone management. We had issues with DOS on smaller providers (Ultra, Dyn) and Amazon Route 53 was able to handle DDOS against our zones better.
- API access to manage Amazon Route 53
- Redundancy and High Availablility
- Nice extensions (geographic resolution, aliasing)
- As long as all Amazon Route 53 can be controlled when us-east-1 is down, I'm happy.
- Replication lags but don't they all?
- Diagnostics on DNS TXT validation fields like "issuewild" is suddnly necessary but was never really documented as a "change" to their requirements.
- Price
- Redundancy/High Availability
- Compliance to DNS standards
- Resistance to DDOS
- Greatly simplified deployment of 100's of domains
- At the price they charge, it pays off fast over all other alternatives
Amazon is priced higher than Google's DNS, but since our gear (Cloudfront, ALB, etc) is in AWS, Amazon Route 53 is easier to use sop we don't have to manage two vendors.
