Introduction
Overview
The majority of our current customers utilize an on-premise DNS system. As resources are initialized on the AWS platform, AWS offers DNS services through Amazon Route 53. This lab focuses on creating a hybrid DNS system, enabling integration between your existing on-premise DNS system and the DNS service provided by Amazon Route 53.
Route 53
Route 53 offers various DNS capabilities, including:
- Public DNS domain registration
- Creation of private DNS zones
- DNS hybrid engine
- Domain name resolution
Within Route 53, the Route 53 Resolver service introduces three tools to facilitate a hybrid DNS architecture between your on-premise DNS system and AWS:
- Outbound Endpoints: Route 53 Resolver sends DNS queries from AWS to your on-premise DNS system through these endpoints.
- Inbound Endpoints: These endpoints serve as targets for DNS queries from your on-premise DNS system to domains hosted on AWS.
- Route 53 Resolver Rules: Utilizing Resolver Rules, you can configure Route 53 to forward DNS queries for specific domains to your on-premise DNS system.
