With Amazon Route 53 Traffic Flow, the cloud provider introduced a\u00a0traffic management service that lets you control\u00a0how your end-users are routed to your application\u2019s endpoints. (Route 53 is\u00a0Amazon’s DNS and domain registration service.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

You can build your JSON policies \u00a0for\u00a0a wide range of routing scenarios using a visual\u00a0flowchart editor in the Amazon Route 53 console<\/a>.\u00a0A\u00a0versioning feature allows you to maintain a history of changes to your routing policies, and easily roll back to a previous policy version (in the Console or via API).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

With Amazon Route 53 Traffic Flow, your costs are influenced by two factors:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • the number of Amazon Route 53 Traffic Flow policies you use to manage traffic routing and<\/li>\n
  • the number of queries that the Amazon Route 53 DNS service answers for each of your domains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For current pricing,\u00a0see Amazon’s current price list here<\/a>. The AWS Simple Monthly Calculator<\/a>\u00a0can get you a price estimate (which is not quite simple at all).<\/p>\n

    Now all Amazon has to do is lift\u00a0Cloudfront’s current restriction of\u00a02048-bit on\u00a0SSL certs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Cloudfront has a 2048-bit max for SSL certs. @StartSSL<\/a> would charge $125 to revoke the 4096-bit certs that I just made. @letsencrypt<\/a> time?<\/p>\n
