1. Why We Need This Use Case
AWS Route 53 is a scalable and highly available Domain Name System (DNS) web service that routes end users to Internet applications hosted on AWS or elsewhere. Understanding and implementing different DNS routing policies in Route 53 allows businesses to optimize their user traffic distribution based on various criteria like geography, latency, health, and load balancing. This flexibility is crucial for enhancing application performance and reliability.
2. When We Need This Use Case
When managing traffic globally across multiple servers or regions.
When needing to route users to the endpoint that provides the best response time.
When implementing high availability and fault tolerance for critical applications.
When specific content needs to be delivered based on the geographic location of the user.
When experimenting with different configurations to determine the most effective setup for user traffic.
