Nice. The final piece of the puzzle that I didn't even realize was missing until reading this announcement.
When I spin up a new idea, step one is to register the domain with my normal $7/year registrar. But from that point forward it's all AWS except for the step of manually copying back the nameservers from Route 53.
Sure, this is a bit more expensive but it's a no brainer from a lot of perspectives. First, it's Amazon so there's no fear of flakines (even of the whimsical negligent sort that Google specializes in). They're certainly going to be more reliable than the guys I'm with now (not because my guys aren't reliable; they're just not Amazon). And naturally, there's the bonus of having everything in one place and tied together.
But mostly there's the silly psychological reason: I have to manually renew a few of my domains every once in a while, sending off my card details for a few hundred more of my precious dollars and feeling the pain. With Amazon it'd be completely different. They're already pulling a grand or so out of my account every month. It's just business expenses, so a bit extra for domains can get nicely lost in the noise.
I get the feeling I might be doing a bunch of copy/pasting in the near future. Let's hope they have a good migration tool.
