    It's well suited. Like I said, it provides us, it provides the clients and the business environments throughout an Internal Revenue Service. The network visibility needed for them to provide their application and the use of their applications throughout the Internal Revenue Service and the enterprise, as far as IRS.

    Pros
    Amazon AWS
    • Uptime - Route53 is highly performant and available. We have had only 3-4 instances in the last 12 years when we had any downtime or outages due to Route53.
    • Extensive API layer on Route53 that allows integration with external tools and SDK's (Boto, Terraform, etc)
    • Closely integrated with the other AWS services. Makes it easy to operate the infra.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • During initial setup when you are using Route 53 or DNS systems for very first time, there are little number of documentation from AWS which is kinda of little tough. But, once you get hold of it, its a cake walk for everyone.
    • Health checks are kinda of little costly when Compared to other big players, but that doesn't affect much when you compare its uses.
    • The logging is well structured though its costly

    • I'd like to see better reporting capabilities on the decision-making process for DNS resolutions. Currently there are plenty of log messages for that, but I'd like to see tighter integration into the GUI.
    • It could be an improvement to better discriminate features intended for AA vs LDNS functionality within the GUI.
