R53_WEIGHT configures Route 53 weighted routing for a record. It distributes traffic across multiple resources based on the weights you assign.

weight is an integer between 0 and 255. Route 53 distributes traffic proportionally based on the weights assigned to each record with the same name and type. A weight of 0 means no traffic is routed to that resource unless all other records also have weight 0.

set_identifier is a unique string that differentiates this record from other weighted records with the same name and type.

You can optionally associate a health check using R53_HEALTH_CHECK_ID() to remove unhealthy endpoints from the rotation.
