Amazon Route 53 Announces Latency Based Routing

Route 53 がレイテンシベースのルーティングに対応したそうです。

Route 53 は AWSDNS サービスですが、斜め読みした感じだと、
複数拠点に分散配置されたサーバに関して、クライアントから
名前解決の要求があったときに、サーバの応答速度の一番速いところの
アドレスを応答するみたいな機能が追加されたようです。

太平洋標準時で3月26日の午前10時からオンラインセミナー(webinar)をやるそうです。
事前登録制です。

Dear Amazon Web Services Customer,

We are excited to announce Latency Based Routing (LBR) for Amazon Route 53, AWS’s highly reliable cost-effective DNS service. LBR, one of Amazon Route 53’s most requested features, helps you improve your application’s performance for a global audience. LBR works by routing your customers to the AWS endpoint (e.g. EC2 instances, Elastic IPs or ELBs) that provides the fastest experience based on actual performance measurements of the different AWS regions where your application is running.

You can start using Amazon Route 53’s new LBR feature quickly and easily by using either the AWS Management Console or an easy-to-use API. You simply create a record set that includes the IP addresses or ELB names of various AWS endpoints and mark that record set as an LBR-enabled Record Set. Amazon Route 53 takes care of the rest - determining the best endpoint for each request and routing end users accordingly, much like Amazon CloudFront, Amazon Web Services’ global content delivery service, does.

LBR gives you an easy and inexpensive way to serve your end-users faster, no matter where they are. And, like all AWS services, there are no upfront fees or long term commitments to use Amazon Route 53 and LBR.

You can learn more about Amazon Route 53 and LBR by registering for our webinar on April 26th at 10AM PDT. Please register at
