[Lab] Working with Route 53 Part 3 - Latency Routing Policy

We already created a EC2 server setup and configured and uses simple routing policy. We deleted those A records. We will create one with latency policy now. This policy allows you to route based on lowest latency for end user (e.g. which region will give fastest response time).

 

Steps:

  1. Go back to Route 53 and inside the hosted zone for our domain. Click on the domain to see current records. NS and SOA records should be already created as default.

  2. Click on create record set.

  3. Leave the name as blank to denote naked domain name.

  4. Select the record type as A – Ipv4 Address

  5. Click yes for Alias (as we are configuring for a naked domain name).

  6. Click inside Alias target and select the ELB that is in the closer region. Remember that we have two ELBs, one in closer region and one in faster region.

  7. Select the routing policy as Latency

  8. Select the region and give an id (region can be easily found from the ELB name we have previously selected.)

  9. Create another A record for the far away region ELB following same steps from step 4. This time remember to select appropriate region for the other ELB.

  10. Try running the domain url in the browser. You may also use a vpn to login to your far away region and may try running the domain url again.

  11. Delete the A records that we just created. You do not have to cleanup everything yet, as we will be doing further labs in continuation.
