Create Route 53 Inbound Endpoints

Create Route 53 Inbound Endpoints

To allow your DNS on-premise system to query Route 53 Resolver for any DNS zones (e.g. Private Zones) hosted on Route 53, you need to create Route 53 Inbound Endpoint. The Inbound Endpoint is a bridge for other services to query Route 53 for domain name resolution. When you create an Inbound Endpoint, AWS creates an elastic network interface (ENI) in each availability zone (AZ) that you specify that will receive inbound DNS queries.
