Explore how domain names simplify web navigation by replacing complex IP addresses with memorable names. Discover how the DNS system and top level domains shape how we browse online.

Explore the hierarchy of domains from top-level domains and the root zone to second-level domains and subdomains, and learn how the DNS maps domain names to IP addresses.

Explore Route 53, a highly available cloud DNS service that registers domains, routes internet traffic to your resources, and offers health checks and notifications. Integrate with other AWS services.

Explore how Amazon Route 53 registers domain names, translates domain names to IP addresses, and performs health checks with DNS failover to keep AWS services and endpoints available.

Explore how a DNS server maintains DNS records and zones to map names to IP addresses, and review record types like A, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SRV, TXT, and SPF.

Register a domain in amazon route 53, check availability across top level domains, add to cart, and understand pay-as-you-go pricing and post-registration DNS setup.

Explore how Route 53 integrates with CloudFront to route traffic to a CloudFront distribution backed by S3 buckets or HTTP servers, with access controls and logs.

Set up an AWS CloudFront web distribution with an S3 bucket origin, upload content, make it publicly accessible, and map a domain name via Route 53 CNAME records.

Map the CNAME to a CloudFront distribution and add domain names in the alternate domain names section. Deploy and verify access via the new CNAME URL using your own domain.

Deploy a static website on a CloudFront distribution and map it to a domain with DNS. Upload site files to an S3 bucket and serve them efficiently.

Create images and assets folders in the S3 bucket and upload files; set public access for static web site hosting, then map a CNAME with Route 53 and CloudFront.

Discover Amazon CloudFront benefits, including global, scalable, secure content delivery, integrated with Route 53, S3, and ELB; learn low-latency routing, edge caches, and pay-as-you-go pricing.

Launch Windows EC2 instances and host a website using Route 53 load balancing across multiple availability zones to improve fault tolerance, traffic routing, and protection against DNS attacks.

Launch two Windows EC2 instances to explore DNS-based load balancing and DNS rules, configure basic web servers, and redirect queries between the two servers.

Connect to two Windows EC2 instances via remote desktop using public DNS and decrypted passwords, then secure by disabling the administrator and prepare to install key features.

Install the web server role on two Windows servers using server manager, selecting the web server role, .NET framework 4.5, and then repeat on the second server.

Verify IIS services on two virtual machines using IIS Manager and confirm the default web site is running. Distinguish server 1 from server 2 to illustrate DNS load balancing.

Configure security groups to allow port 80 and create Route 53 A records mapping a domain to two server IPs, enabling basic load balancing and DNS-based traffic distribution.

Protect dns traffic from poisoning and spoofing by implementing dns security extensions (dnssec) with Route 53, using digital signatures and public key cryptography at each dns level.

Protect against DNS attacks by enabling DNSSEC in Route 53 hosted zones, building a chain of trust from the TLD registry to authoritative name servers, and understanding resolver support.

Create a private hosted zone in Route 53, and enable DNS resolution and DNS hostnames for your VPC. Add record with private IP for web dot tetra tutorials dot click.

Balance traffic between two EC2 instances with Route 53 and deploy a website on them, while safeguarding against DNS attacks using Route 53.

Explore how Amazon Route 53 routing policies manage traffic in the AWS cloud. Learn four major policies: simple, latency based, failover, and geo location, and how they affect DNS responses.

Learn about the four major DNS routing policies in Route 53 and how to apply them to DNS services using a traffic policy and visual editor.

Explore how AWS Route 53 routing policies guide DNS responses, from simple and failover to geo, latency, and weighted policies, including health checks and multi value routing.

Explore the simple routing policy in AWS Route 53, mapping a domain to a single IP and guiding DNS responses based on the record's IP value.

AWS Route 53's weighted routing policy distributes traffic across multiple IP addresses sharing a single DNS record, enabling load balancing and testing new features with proportional weights.

Route 53 latency based routing directs user requests to the nearest AWS region to reduce latency, by creating a latency resource record set and configuring regional DNS policies.

Monitor the health and performance of your apps with Route 53 health checks, using customizable intervals and automated requests to verify reachability, then dns failover redirects traffic to healthy resources.

Explore how failover routing in Route 53 enables active or passive failover from primary to secondary services, supported by health checks for high availability and disaster recovery.

Configure AWS Route 53 failover health checks with 30-second intervals, a 3-failure threshold, and string-matching checks. Set up SNS alerts and monitor health via CloudWatch across checkers returning HTTP 200.

Demonstrates health checks by triggering an unhealthy endpoint via an HTTP 404 response, monitors the resulting alarm in the AWS console and CloudWatch, and restores the endpoint to healthy.

Learn to configure Route 53 health checks and failover routing, set up primary and secondary records, monitor performance with latency graphs and alarms, and validate failover in practice.

Explore how geolocation routing policy in AWS Route 53 maps DNS records to users' locations and routes traffic to regional servers to reduce latency and localize content.

Apply simple routing, latency-based routing, failover, and geolocation routing in Amazon Route 53 to manage web traffic and enhance DNS security. Learn to host a website with CloudFront and S3.
