Which AWS service offers a scalable DNS solution in the cloud?

Amazon Macie
Amazon VPC
CloudFront
Route53

The correct answer is: Route53

Route 53 is the AWS service that provides a scalable Domain Name System (DNS) solution in the cloud. It is designed to route end users to Internet applications by translating human-readable names like www.example.com into the numeric IP addresses that computers use to connect to each other. This service is highly available, offers low-latency routing, and integrates seamlessly with other AWS services. Route 53 also includes features such as health checks and traffic management capabilities, which allow for effective load balancing and routing strategies based on the health of your resources and user location. This ensures that users reliably reach the applications they are trying to access, enhancing the overall user experience. Other services like Amazon Macie, Amazon VPC, and CloudFront serve different purposes. Macie is focused on data security and privacy, VPC provides a private network environment in the cloud, and CloudFront is a content delivery network that speeds up the delivery of web content. None of these services directly offer scalable DNS solutions like Route 53 does.
