What is Amazon Route 53’s health checking feature and how does it enable failover routing?

Accepted Answer

Amazon Route 53's health checking feature monitors endpoint availability through periodic checks. When an endpoint is unhealthy, failover routing directs traffic to a secondary healthy endpoint, ensuring minimal downtime during active-passive or active-active failover scenarios.
