AWS Route 53

Amazons DNS Service

Allows you to map domain names to:

• EC2 instances
• Load balancers
• S3 buckets

Lab Notes

• Register Domain on Route 53 (using namecheap use prefix.domain.com and match the namespace values)
• Create an A record set for the route 53 value. Use alias - clicking on Alias Target will provide dropdown where any pre-defined ELB/ALBs will appear
• You can setup a Load Balancer while in the EC2 dashboard - along left hand side you will see ‘Load Balancing’
• Once setup you can go to the domain and should be directed to your server
