Amazon Route 53 Basics Tutorial | Domain Registration, A Records, CNAME Records, Aliases, Subdomains

Route 53 is Amazon’s managed Domain Name System (DNS). You can use it to register (or transfer) domain names, and manage how traffic is routed to public and private resources.

In this hands-on tutorial, I’ll explain in simple terms how it all works. We’ll take a look at common DNS record types, including A Record, CNAME Record, and the Alias that allows you to redirect traffic to AWS resources (we’ll point to an Elastic Beanstalk application).

Heard your voice, and had to see your picture. Done. Perfect match!
Your examples were A record and alias, but I was hoping to see CNAME. In any case, I get the gist.
