Route 53, a popular domain name system (DNS) service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), provides various routing policies to manage DNS queries. These policies enable users to control how Route 53 responds to DNS requests and direct traffic to specific resources. The article highlights four primary routing policies: Weighted Routing, Latency-Based Routing, Geolocation Routing, and Multi-Value Query.

Weighted Routing allows for load balancing between regions or applications, while Latency-Based Routing optimizes performance by redirecting users to the closest resource. Geolocation Routing enables website localization and content distribution based on user location. Multi-Value Query returns multiple values/resources and is useful when routing traffic to multiple resources.
