This really just looks like a visual interface for what was already possible using Route53 (albeit in a much more convoluted way). It seems AWS is investing in visual alternatives for some of the more complicated aspects of its environment. They just released a similar visual editor for CloudFormation[1] a few weeks ago.

- andrewvc 11y agoGlad to see cloud formation getting some love. The real problem with CF however is that if something goes wrong during a CF deploy you don't have enough control to stop it. If CF doesn't have perms to remove an interface or something it can just spin for 1 or 2 hours. During that time you can't make changes to your stack!
- evgenyg 11y agoVersioning makes it significantly more powerful than just an editor on top of Route 53 API. With Traffic Flow one can migrate records from Policy v1 to v2 or to AnotherPolicy v8 with zero downtime. DIY approach wouldn't be as trivial.
