Amazon Route 53 is AWS's scalable, managed DNS and domain registration service with health checks and advanced traffic routing for teams managing DNS within AWS. It runs on a global anycast network and supports DNSSEC along with geo, latency, weighted, and failover routing policies for traffic steering. Pricing is usage-based per hosted zone and per query rather than a fixed monthly fee, with no free tier, and DDoS protection is provided via AWS Shield Standard. Founded in 2010, Route 53 carries SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS attestations and fits teams operating within the AWS ecosystem.
