Amazon Route 53

Networking & Content Delivery

Rekor employs Route 53 for both public and private DNS routing use cases across all products and internal services. Applying records for certificates, load balancers, and other targets allows Rekor to manage all inbound network traffic in a scalable, maintainable way in conjunction with the AWS CDK.
