Bias

The bias increases or decreases the size of the geographic region from which Route 53 routes traffic to a resource.

To use Bias to change the size of the geographic region, specify the applicable value for the bias:

  • To expand the size of the geographic region from which Route 53 routes traffic to a resource, specify a positive integer from 1 to 99 for the bias. Route 53 shrinks the size of adjacent regions.

  • To shrink the size of the geographic region from which Route 53 routes traffic to a resource, specify a negative bias of -1 to -99. Route 53 expands the size of adjacent regions.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of -99. Maximum value of 99.

Required: No

Coordinates

Contains the longitude and latitude for a geographic region.

Type: Coordinates object

Required: No

LocalZoneGroup

Specifies an Amazon Local Zone Group.

A local Zone Group is usually the Local Zone code without the ending character. For example, if the Local Zone is us-east-1-bue-1a the Local Zone Group is us-east-1-bue-1.

You can identify the Local Zones Group for a specific Local Zone by using the describe-availability-zones CLI command:

This command returns: "GroupName": "us-west-2-den-1", specifying that the Local Zone us-west-2-den-1a belongs to the Local Zone Group us-west-2-den-1.

Type: String
