help AWS Private Hosted Zones FAQ
What is an AWS Private Hosted Zone used for?
AWS Private Hosted Zones allow administrators to manage domain records securely within a private virtual network. This is ideal for translating internal domain names to private IP addresses without exposing DNS data to the public internet.
How does a Private Hosted Zone differ from a Public Hosted Zone in AWS?
While a Public Hosted Zone routes internet traffic to public-facing resources, a Private Hosted Zone is exclusively linked to an Amazon VPC. This ensures that only authorized resources within the private network can resolve those specific domain names.
Can multiple VPCs be associated with a single AWS Private Hosted Zone?
Yes, you can associate multiple Amazon VPCs with a single Private Hosted Zone, even if they are in different AWS accounts. This is configured by creating an authorization link and using the AWS CLI to share the zone.
Does using an AWS Private Hosted Zone require Amazon Route 53?
Yes, Private Hosted Zones are a specific feature of Amazon Route 53, AWS's scalable domain name system web service. The DNS queries are automatically answered by Route 53 resolvers within the associated VPCs.
