AWS Route 53

Introduction

Route 53 is an advanced domain management tool. Unlike most domain software, it lets you point a domain entry to an AWS application instead of an IP.

Usage

  • We have 2 hosted zones set up
  • resn.org.au
    • Obviously our primary hosted zone
    • Records point to web apps, mail servers, DKIM, DMARC, validation
  • resntutoring.com.au
    • This is only for legacy usage
    • Redirects any mail to the equivalent resn.org.au address

Advantages

  • Works incredibly well with AWS services

Disadvantages

  • Way clunkier interface than alternative products
  • Can’t register AU domains within Route 53
  • Doesn’t work well with long strings (e.g. verification strings)
