route53

An agent skill by aws, from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. Tags: aws, dns, health-checks, networking, routing.

What it does

Configures Amazon Route 53 DNS: public and private records, traffic-steering routing policies, health checks, DNS Firewall, Route 53 Profiles, VPC Resolver (also known as Route 53 Resolver) for hybrid and Outposts networks, and Global Resolver. Applicable when the customer wants to point a hostname at a target, split or fail over traffic across endpoints, monitor an endpoint, block malicious domains, centralize DNS across accounts, or resolve private DNS across a hybrid network. Routes to the right per-task procedure in references. Does not cover CloudFront-specific setup (see the route53-cloudfront skill) or non-DNS networking.
