Route 53 Whitepaper

Route 53 supports:
- Regsiter Domain name.
-Route traffic to aws internal resources
Simple Routing
   - Alias based record : AWS resource end point cloudfront, S3, ELB, Elastic bean environment etc. Health check can be added here.Both root non root domain supported.
    - Basic/A Record: IP adderess of web servers can be added. If any of the IP is unhealthy , the rest can be serving the client request.

For Domain name shortening,  in case of s3 use cname,  cname =true, aliases =true
For ELB routing,  A IPv4 =true alisases =true.
DB instance shortening: - Cname= true, aliases=false
Sub domian(pictures.example.com) : Alsiases =true
Route 53 logging:
  - Cloud Watch
- Colud Trail
- Route 53 dashaboard

Route 53 alias records provide a Route 53–specific extension to DNS functionality. Alias records let you route traffic to selected AWS resources,
 such as CloudFront distributions and Amazon S3 buckets. They also let you route traffic from one record in a hosted zone to another record.
 
A Record: Host name to IP 

At 169.254.169.254. we create latest, meta-data.

dig google.com : google.com.        266     IN    A    172.217.174.238

DNS Call : TTL IN record type mapped IP_Resolved

CName: 

Only for non Route domain/ Sub domain.
Alias Name: Points hostname to an AWS Resource. Works for both Root and non Root domain.
Free of Charge. 
Latency Routing: Chosen based on the least Latency. Evaluated in terms of user to designated AWS Region.
FaoilOver Routing Policy: Primary->fails> Secondary.  // Needed health check setup
MultiValued Routing Policy: Has associated health check attached.
Third Party Domains can be updated with the AWS provided name server in order to serve the domain through aws route 53. Under hosted zone sub configuration.
   Private hosted zones are meant to be used for internal network queries and are not publicly accessible. Public Hosted Zones are meant to be used for people requesting your website through the public internet. Finally, NS records must be updated on the 3rd party registrar.
