Setting up a private DNS with a VPC
Route 53 is a very highly available DNS server in AWS. It can work for both external routing as well as internal routing. Internal routing works within the internal network of a VPC where both source and destination services can be connected via internal IPs. It can be used for users or applications to connect within the private network boundary.
