What is Route 53?
Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable cloud Domain Name System (DNS) web service. If you are not using Elastic IPs for your EC2 instances, chances are stopping and starting the server will result in different IPs after the instance comes back online. If you have A records pointing to those IPs in Route53 you will need a way to update them. After the script is executed, it will automatically gather the new Public IP and update the DNS record for it in Route53.
