Introduction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon Route 53 is a scalable and highly available Domain Name System service. We can perform the three main functions on route53 services such as domain registration, DNS routing, and health checking<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisite<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. AWS Console access<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. A domain name<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. IP address where we need to point the domain<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Implementation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: Sign in to the AWS console

    https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n


    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2: Search the Route 53 service from the search bar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3: Navigate to the “Hosted Zones” and click on Create Hosted Zone<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 4: Provide the domain name in the domain name section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (i) To route internet traffic to your resources, such as Amazon S3 buckets or Amazon EC2 instances – Enable Public hosted zone<\/p>\n\n\n\n


    (ii) To route traffic within the  VPC – Enable Private hosted zone<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 5: If required provide tags for reference else click on create hosted zone<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 6: Once the hosted zone has been created, click on the hosted zone to add the DNS – ‘A’ record<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 7: Click on Create record

    (i) If the A record is added for the primary domain, leave the record value empty<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (ii) If the A record is added for the subdomain, mention the subdomain name in the record value<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 8: Select the “A – Route traffic to an IPV4 address and some AWS resources” to create the DNS ‘A’ record <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 9: Provide the IPv4 address in the Value section and click on Create record<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
