Amazon Updates Route 53 DNS Service To Make Hosting High-Availability Sites On EC2 Easier

Thanks to an update to its Route 53 DNS web service, Amazon now makes it a bit easier to host sites that need high availability in multiple AWS regions. Route 53 has been offering DNS Failover since February, but that wasn't really an option if your application was also running behind Amazon's Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) service. ELB allows you to automatically distribute traffic across EC2 instances. Route 53's failover service needs to be able to check a specific IP address for availability, but that didn't work with apps behind ELB because they don't have a fixed IP address in Amazon's architecture.
