Is the task solved on Amazon EC2 + Route 53?

Question

Domain Name System

Hello,
I have a task to efficiently process traffic from different parts of the world. I assume that this can be solved by linking Amazon EC2 and Route 53.
For example:
There is a domain that hangs on Route 53. Traffic from the Philippines appears and the server needs to be as close as possible to it. Are we setting up an EC2 instance in Singapore and somehow telling Route 53 to drive all Asian traffic there? It's like called Geo DNS?
Further, for example, there is a traffic in the USA. We raise an instance in the USA and drive traffic from the States for the same domain already there.
So is it possible? What are the nuances?
We are not considering problems with the backend and database yet.

Answer 1

The standard Amazonas feature is as simple as five cents, no nuances

Answer 2

Welcome ;-) to DynDNS (dyn.com). It would be more correct not to fence your own garden (which is very costly and time consuming), but to use the ready-made infrastructure. Dynamically "raising an instance in Singapore" looks like a utopia so far, starting a VM takes minutes, your traffic from the Philippines will already be gone by the time it starts because the user will get tired of waiting. It is more correct to use the already available traffic data and place copies in the appropriate places and link them to GeoDNS. Then, as the traffic data is updated, launch additional copies and bind them. I recently translated promotional materials on this topic https://dynru.ru/question/if-external-dns-fails-1/

Answer 3

Yes, route 53 solves this problem.
But it will be cheaper and more flexible to use something similar - habrahabr.ru/post/178727 , only dns servers around the world will need to be poked (in 3 locations, at least - USA, Europe, Asia).

I have the task of efficiently processing traffic from different parts of the world.

Wouldn't a CDN be better?
