This is not your typical AWS reference course. You won’t find most of the knowledge that's shared here in the AWS docs. The goal here is to help you realize which AWS features you’d be foolish not to use — features that have passed the test of time by being at the backbone of most things on the Internet.

In this course, you'll learn a technique used to help make reliable technical choices without getting paralyzed in the face of so many options. You’ll start by going through the most fundamental services AWS offers such as DynamoDB, S3, EC2. Each section breaks down how it’s used, the pros and cons, why you should (or shouldn't) be using it, and more.

This course was written by a former Amazon engineer with 15 years of experience working on AWS.

The Good Parts of AWS: Cutting Through the Clutter

## A DNS service

Route 53 is a DNS service. It lets you translate domain names to IP addresses.

## Limitations

There’s nothing particularly special about Route 53’s DNS capabilities. In fact, it has a few annoying (but mostly minor) limitations such as the lack of support for ALIAS records (unless they point to AWS resources).

Route 53: The DNS service of AWS with its limitations and benefits are presented in this lesson.
