AWS Route 53 is a highly available and scalable cloud Domain Name System (DNS) web service. It is designed to give developers and businesses an extremely reliable and cost effective way to route end users to Internet applications by translating names like www.example.com into the numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other.
Available immediately, Turbot has added enterprise guardrails for the use of Route 53, making it easy and safe to use Route 53 in specific accounts to manage public DNS entries or private DNS for a specific application. Specifically:
Control which teams have access to use Route 53.
Use newly predefined AWS/Route53/{Metadata,Admin} groups for Route 53.
Users in Turbot Guardrails standard AWS/{Metadata,Admin} groups have Route 53 access immediately integrated.
