- Route 53 Resolver is now generally available on second‑generation Outposts, delivering local managed recursive DNS on each rack to reduce latency and avoid Service Link hops.
- It caches DNS records during Service Link outages and runs on AWS‑managed infrastructure; it’s enabled by default with an opt‑out option via Support.
- A 91‑day free trial runs until 21 Dec 2026, after which pricing is $0.65 per Outpost rack per hour; see the Route 53 Resolver on Outposts docs for details.
