Amazon Route 53 Profiles enhanced security by supporting granular Identity and Access Management permissions that restrict user actions on specific DNS resource types and virtual private cloud associations. This includes operations like associating and disassociating private hosted zones, Resolver rules, and DNS Firewall rule groups.
