Explanation

The Route 53 Resolver outbound endpoint enables DNS queries from resources in a VPC to be forwarded to on-premises DNS servers over an existing AWS Direct Connect or VPN connection. By creating forwarding rules that specify which domains should be resolved through the on- premises DNS servers, EC2 instances in the VPC can seamlessly resolve internal hostnames without manual configuration or ongoing maintenance. This is the most scalable and low- maintenance solution.
