Shared DNS views for multi-account environments with Amazon Route 53 Global Resolver

This article explains how to share DNS views across AWS accounts using Amazon Route 53 Global Resolver and AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM), enabling decentralized zone management while maintaining centralized resolver governance.

• DNS view sharing eliminates manual bottlenecks by allowing consumer accounts to self-service associate private hosted zones
• Networking teams retain centralized control and visibility while application teams manage their own zones independently
• Associations automatically propagate across all AWS Regions where the global resolver operates
• AWS RAM provides tiered managed permissions: association-only (default), lifecycle management, and full access
• Consumer account associations remain visible to view owner, who can revoke access or remove associations anytime
• CloudTrail records all association actions for audit trails and compliance monitoring

DNS view sharing enables a federated operating model that separates resolver ownership from zone ownership, improving operational efficiency in multi-account environments.
