Types Of AWS Routing Policies
The following are the types of AWS Routing Policies:
- Simple Routing Policy: It is a simple Route53 routing technique that can be used to route internet traffic to a single resource. For example; Web server to a website. Using this, routing multiple records with the same name cannot be created but multiple values ( such as multiple IP addresses ) can be specified in the same record.
- Failover Routing Policy: Whenever a resource goes unhealthy, this policy allows to route the traffic from unhealthy resource to healthy resource.
- Geolocation Routing Policy: This routing policy routes the traffic to resources on the basis of the geographic location of the user. Geographic locations can be specified by continent, country, or state. For example; A person residing in France will be redirected to the website in the French language while a person from the US will be redirected to the website in the English language.
- Geoproximity Routing Policy: It routes traffic on the basis of the geographical location of the user and the type of content user wants to access. The user can optionally shift traffic from resources at one location to resource at another location. Using this policy, a user can shift more traffic to one location compared to another location by specifying a value known as bias.
- Latency Routing Policy: If a website has to be hosted in multiple regions then a latency based routing policy is used. To improve performance for the users, this policy helps in serving requests from the AWS region that provides the lowest latency. To use this policy, the latency records for the resources are created in multiple AWS regions.
- Multivalue Routing Policy: It is used when users want Route53 to return multiple values in response to DNS queries. It first checks the health of resources and then returns the multiple values only for the health resources.
- Weighted Routing Policy: This routing policy routes traffic to multiple resources with a single domain name according to the proportion decided by the user.
