Elastic Load Balancer is in fact an AWS product. I believe GCP's equivalent is called Cloud Load Balancing.

Your point is valid and something I've felt many times as well (Route 53 means DNS somehow???), you just happened to choose literally the only AWS product that is well named.

DNS servers listen on port 53 :)

True. But if you asked me what Route 53 does I wouldn’t be able to tell you without checking. Cloud DNS, OTOH, is a pretty descriptive product name. I’m not saying you disagree, just reiterating the point that AWS naming is just a little too silly and clever for its own good ;)
