Creating Routing Policies to Handle Traffic with AWS Route53

In this 2-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to effectively manage website traffic using AWS Route 53's Routing Policies. The course covers a comprehensive range of Routing Policies, enabling you to understand and implement each policy to optimize traffic handling.

• Map your existing Domain to Route53
• Create different Routing Policies to handle your website traffic
• Add health checks to your Routing Policies

You will start by exploring the Simple Routing Policy, which diverts traffic to multiple servers/IPs randomly. Following this, you will delve into the Weight Routing Policy, allowing you to split traffic based on different weights assigned. The course progresses to cover the Latency-based Routing, enabling you to route traffic based on the lowest network latency for your end users. You will then learn to set up an active/passive configuration using the Failover Routing Policy, establishing a primary website and a secondary Disaster Recovery site.

Furthermore, the course encompasses the Geolocation Routing Policy, which directs traffic to various servers based on the geographic location of users, facilitating custom site delivery. Finally, you will explore the Multi-Value Answer Policy, configuring Route 53 to return multiple values along with health checks.
