COURSE DESCRIPTION
Welcome to the Amazon Route 53 course! Amazon Route 53 is a scalable and highly available Domain Name System (DNS) web service designed to route end users to Internet applications by translating human-readable domain names, such as www.example.com, into IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other. This course is perfect for network administrators, cloud architects, and IT professionals who want to learn how to manage DNS routing and domain registration services effectively in the AWS cloud.
In this course, you will explore the various features of Amazon Route 53, including DNS management, domain registration, traffic flow management, and health checks. You will also learn how to configure and optimize Route 53 to ensure high availability, low latency, and resilience of your web applications.
