Route 53 is a bit different from other services, as we do not provision units of performance, thus we have no insight into the performance of the response times of our zones or the Route 53 service itself.
However, we can monitor the following specifics thorough CloudFront:
- Domain registrations: We can track the newly registered domains with this metric. For security reasons, we can create an alarm on this metric to notify our response teams of newly registered domains and verify that the registration was allowed and successful.
- Route 53 resolver endpoints: When using a Route 53 resolver to forward DNS requests to and from our networks, we can see the performance metrics, such as volume and latency, for each Route 53 resolver endpoint we create.
- Route 53 health checks: When our DNS records use advanced routing with health checks, we can view them in the CloudWatch...
