> AWS in general are not fans of Anycast.

I don't think that's true. Route53 has been using Anycast since its inception [0].

The Twitter thread you linked simply points out that fault isolation is tricky with Anycast, and so I am not sure how you arrived at the conclusion that you did.

Route53 is the exception, compared to Google Cloud where the vast majority of api's are anycast through googleapis.com

It's a good choice for DNS because DNS i a single point of failure anyway, see yesterdays multi hour Azure/Microsoft outage!

Got it, thanks. Are there research papers or blog posts by Google that reveal how they resume transport layer connections when network layer routing changes underneath it (a problem inherent to Anycast)?
