Setting Up DNS with AWS Route 53 🌐

Configuring DNS is a crucial step in securing and managing your application's domain. AWS Route 53 provides a robust, scalable solution for handling your domain's DNS settings. In this guide, we'll explore two common methods for setting up DNS: either by registering a new domain with AWS or using an external domain provider.

Previously, we tested our application using the load balancer's provided HTTP address, which was not secure. Now, it's time to bind our domain to HTTPS, securing it with an SSL certificate.

For example, we'll secure our application and make it accessible via:

• https://api.yourdomain for production
• https://api.staging.yourdomain for staging

Option 1: You Already Have a Domain with AWS or Want to Register a New One 🛠️

Option 2: You’ve Registered a Domain with Another Provider 🌍 (i.e. GoDaddy, etc.)

We'll guide you through setting up DNS for both scenarios, ensuring your endpoints are secure and ready.
