Alias resource record sets only: The value that you specify depends on where you want to route queries: - A CloudFront distribution: Specify the domain name that CloudFront assigned when you created your distribution. Your CloudFront distribution must include an alternate domain name that matches the name of the resource record set. For example, if the name of the resource record set is acme.example.com, your CloudFront distribution must include acme.example.com as one of the alternate domain names. For more information, see Using Alternate Domain Names (CNAMEs) in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide.
- Elastic Beanstalk environment: Specify the
CNAME attribute for the environment. (The environment must have a regionalized domain name.) You can use the following methods to get the value of the CNAME attribute: - AWS Management Console: For information about how to get the value by using the console, see Using Custom Domains with AWS Elastic Beanstalk in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.
- Elastic Beanstalk API: Use the
DescribeEnvironments action to get the value of the CNAME attribute. For more information, see DescribeEnvironments in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk API Reference. - AWS CLI: Use the
describe-environments command to get the value of the CNAME attribute. For more information, see describe-environments in the AWS Command Line Interface Reference. - An ELB load balancer: Specify the DNS name that is associated with the load balancer. Get the DNS name by using the AWS Management Console, the ELB API, or the AWS CLI. Use the same method to get values for
HostedZoneId and DNSName. If you get one value from the console and the other value from the API or the CLI, creating the resource record set will fail. - AWS Management Console: Go to the EC2 page, click Load Balancers in the navigation pane, choose the load balancer, choose the Description tab, and get the value of the DNS name field. (If you're routing traffic to a Classic Load Balancer, get the value that begins with dualstack.) Use the same process to get the value of the Hosted zone field. See AliasTarget$HostedZoneId.
- Elastic Load Balancing API: Use
DescribeLoadBalancers to get the value of DNSName and CanonicalHostedZoneNameId. (You specify the value of CanonicalHostedZoneNameId for AliasTarget$HostedZoneId.) For more information, see the applicable guide: - AWS CLI: Use
describe-load-balancers to get the value of DNSName and CanonicalHostedZoneNameId. (You specify the value of CanonicalHostedZoneNameId for AliasTarget$HostedZoneId.) - An Amazon S3 bucket that is configured as a static website: Specify the domain name of the Amazon S3 website endpoint in which you created the bucket, for example,
s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com. For more information about valid values, see the table Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) Website Endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General Reference. For more information about using S3 buckets for websites, see Getting Started with Amazon Route 53 in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide. - Another Amazon Route 53 resource record set: Specify the value of the
Name element for a resource record set in the current hosted zone. |
