Leveraging Amazon CloudFront with S3 and Route 53 for Subdomain Configuration

2023-11-20T06:14:26+00:00

Amazon S3 and Route 53, both provided by AWS, offer a comprehensive solution for managing and deploying web content. Route 53 allows you to create alias records that direct to the website endpoint of your S3 bucket. Meanwhile, Amazon S3 is a robust service for hosting static websites. These services, when used together, provide a powerful toolset for web content management. However, there's a key requirement when using these services together: the bucket name in S3 must be the same as the domain or subdomain hosted on Route 53. This is because when a request comes to Route 53, it [...]

2023-04-26T07:40:26+00:00

If you use Discord, Slack, or Telegram, you're probably familiar with those long and complicated invite links used to join servers or channels. These links can be difficult to remember and may even discourage some people from joining. With URL redirection, you can create a custom and easy-to-remember domain name for your invite links. For example, you might use a domain like "discord.mycoolsite.com" that redirects to the invitation page of your Discord server, which might look something like this: "discord.com/invite/aabbCCDD". Inviting people thru a custom domain can reinforce your brand and make it easier for others to share and join [...]

Using Amazon Route 53 Resolver

2023-04-26T07:42:04+00:00

In the previous blog post, we talked about Split-view DNS using Amazon Route 53, in which the DNS server gives out a different response to the same DNS query based on where the query came from. This is helpful if you are in a hybrid environment when you want an internal application to resolve a domain from a private hosted zone and external applications to resolve from a public hosted zone in Route 53. In hybrid environments, configuring Amazon Route 53 hosted zones can be tricky. Your VPC and on-premises resources may need to resolve DNS names hosted on the [...]
