help Route53 Private DNS FAQ
What is a Route 53 private hosted zone?
A Route 53 private hosted zone stores DNS records that answer only inside associated Amazon VPCs and connected private networks. It is commonly used for internal names such as database, API, and service endpoints.
Can the public internet resolve Route 53 Private DNS records?
No, records in a private hosted zone are not visible to ordinary public DNS resolvers. Public users need a separate public Route 53 hosted zone if a domain must resolve from the open internet.
How can on-premises systems resolve private AWS names?
Hybrid networks can use AWS Route 53 Resolver inbound and outbound endpoints together with forwarding rules. A VPN or AWS Direct Connect connection then gives on-premises DNS servers a path to the VPC names.
When would a company use Route 53 Private DNS?
It is useful when internal services need stable names without exposing their private IP addresses publicly. A company can also use split-horizon DNS, with one answer for VPC users and a different public answer for internet users.
