This covers setting up DNS records, steering rules, and health checks, plus resolving private names across accounts and on-premises networks. Reach for it when a name needs to resolve somewhere and you are not sure how to wire it. ### Top 3 things it does for you - Point a hostname at a target - Split or fail traffic over between endpoints - Watch an endpoint and route around it when it breaks ## Information **Amazon Route 53 at a glance** | | | | --- | --- | | Kind | Skill | | Publisher | [Amazon Web Services](/@aws) | | Category | [IT & Ops](/category/ops) | | Works with | Agent Skills - an open standard supported by 40+ agents | | Version | 1 | | Size | 176 KB | | Licence | Apache-2.0 | | Repository | [aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws](https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/tree/fae975d565b6c1752e3f4795c499fb3951039777/skills/specialized-skills/networking-and-content-delivery-skills/route53) | | GitHub stars | 2,420 (as of Nov 2026) | | Installs | 4,850, counted by skills.sh (Nov 2026) | ## Security report **Verified.** AIR scanned this exact version of Amazon Route 53 and flagged nothing.

[Read the full security report for Amazon Route 53](/security/route53) ## About Amazon Route 53 DNS configuration guidance for Amazon Route 53, covering public and private records, routing policies for steering traffic, and health checks that monitor endpoints. It also covers DNS Firewall for blocking malicious domains, Route 53 Profiles, the VPC Resolver for hybrid and Outposts networks, and Global Resolver. It applies to the usual asks: pointing a hostname at a target, splitting or failing traffic over between endpoints, monitoring an endpoint, centralizing DNS across accounts, or resolving private DNS across a hybrid network. It routes to the specific procedure for whichever of those you are doing. CloudFront-specific setup has its own guidance, and networking that is not DNS is out of scope. ## What's inside - SKILL.md - instructions - references/blocking-malicious-domains.md - reference - references/centralizing-dns-firewall.md - reference - references/configuring-failover-routing.md - reference - references/configuring-route53-profiles.md - reference - references/creating-a-public-dns-record.md - reference - references/identifying-the-effective-dns-firewall-rule.md - reference - references/resolving-private-dns-for-hybrid-networks.md - reference - references/running-route53-resolver-on-outposts.md - reference - references/setting-up-a-route53-health-check.md - reference - references/setting-up-route53-global-resolver.md - reference - references/splitting-traffic-with-weighted-routing.md - reference ## Questions ### Is Amazon Route 53 safe to install? AIR scanned this exact version of Amazon Route 53 and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit fae975d565b6, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/route53. ### How do I install Amazon Route 53?
