Reply To: Route53 – Failover question clarification

[Carlo-TutorialsDojo]

Hello Alexander,

Thanks for posting your question.

An Alias record in the context of Route53 maps a domain name to an AWS Resource endpoint. A non-alias record can resolve a domain name to another domain or to a stable IP address.

In the scenario, the alternate endpoint was assumed to be a custom endpoint. Note that both records can be used as failover targets.

Let me know if this answers your question.

Regards,

Carlo
