Route53
Point AWS Route 53 at your Solodev CMS deployment's IP address.
Get your IP address
Find your deployment's IP address in its CloudFormation stack outputs -- this is the value you'll route DNS traffic to below.
Create an A record
Step 1. Log in to your AWS Management Console and navigate to Route 53.
Step 2. Create a new A record in your hosted zone.
Step 3. Enter the domain name for your website.
Step 4. In the Value field, enter the IP address from your CloudFormation output.
Step 5. Save the record.
Load balancer (ELB) domains
If your CloudFormation output shows an AdminUrl ending in elb.amazonaws.com, your deployment is fronted by an Elastic Load Balancer instead of a plain IP:
Step 1. Create an A record that's an Alias, rather than a plain address record.
Step 2. Set the domain name to your desired subdomain (for example, admin.yourdomain.com).
Step 3. In the Value field, enter the ELB's URL (for example, your-elb-name.elb.amazonaws.com).
Note:
DNS changes can take time to propagate. Once your record resolves, add the website to your Solodev CMS if you haven't already.
