How it works

  • HA and scalable cloud DNS service
  • You can combine with health-checking services to route to healthy endpoints
  • You can also purchase and manage domains
  • If you have stringent SLA add Global Accelerator, protecting users and applications from caching
  • Routing options
    • Simple round robin
    • Weighted round robin
      Enables A/B testing using any number between 0 and 255
      ie: a:3/b:1 means a:75%, b:25%
    • Latency based routing (LBR) Routes to the fastest endpoint, based on actual performance measurements
  • Health checks
  • Geolocation routing
  • Geoproximity routing (physical user-resource distance)

Alias
Similar to CNAME record, pointing to a LB

Traffic policies

  • Graphic editor
  • Rules can be based on location, latency…
    • Value -> ELB target goup
    • Value -> Weighted rule
      • 30% -> ELB TG
      • 70% -> IP
