Routing Traffic with Route 53 and CloudFront
Overview
Domain expertise for configuring Amazon Route 53 to route traffic to Amazon CloudFront distributions using custom domain names. Covers hosted zone management, alias A/AAAA records, alternate domain name (CNAME) configuration, and ACM certificate setup for HTTPS.
Configure Route 53 to route traffic to a CloudFront distribution
To set up a custom domain for a CloudFront distribution with Route 53 DNS, follow the procedure exactly. See Route 53 CloudFront routing procedure.
The procedure covers:
- Verifying CloudFront distribution status and CNAME configuration
- Requesting and validating ACM certificates (must be in us-east-1)
- Creating or locating public hosted zones
- Creating alias A and AAAA records pointing to CloudFront
- Monitoring DNS propagation
Troubleshooting
Domain not in CloudFront CNAMEs
Add the domain as an alternate domain name in the CloudFront distribution configuration before creating Route 53 records.
SSL certificate issues
ACM certificates for CloudFront must be in us-east-1. Ensure the certificate is validated and associated with the distribution.
Private hosted zone
CloudFront only works with public hosted zones. Create a public hosted zone if only a private one exists.
DNS propagation delays
Changes typically propagate within 60 seconds but full global propagation can take up to 48 hours. Use nslookup or dig to verify.

aws-serverless
Builds, deploys, manages, debugs, configures, and optimizes serverless applications on AWS using Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, EventBridge, and SAM/CDK. Covers cold starts, CORS debugging, event source mappings, troubleshooting, concurrency, SnapStart, Powertools, function URLs, EventBridge Scheduler, Lambda layers, and production readiness. Triggers on mentions of Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, SAM templates, CDK serverless stacks, DynamoDB stream triggers, SQS event sources, cold starts, timeouts, 502/504 errors, throttling, concurrency, CORS, Powertools, or any event-driven architecture on AWS, even without the word "serverless." Does not apply to EC2, ECS/Fargate containers, or Amplify hosting.
aws-cdk
Authors, deploys, and troubleshoots AWS infrastructure using CDK with TypeScript or Python. Covers best practices, stack architecture, and construct patterns. Always use when writing CDK constructs, bootstrapping environments, running cdk deploy/synth/diff, fixing CDK or CloudFormation errors, planning stack structure, importing existing resources, resolving drift, or refactoring stacks without resource replacement.
aws-observability
Builds, configures, debugs, and optimizes AWS observability using CloudWatch (Logs Insights, Metrics, Alarms, Dashboards, EMF), X-Ray, CloudTrail, and ADOT. Covers Log Insights query syntax (fields, filter, stats, parse, pattern, join, subqueries), alarm configuration (metric, composite, anomaly detection, missing data treatment), dashboard design, custom metrics (PutMetricData, EMF, metric filters), X-Ray tracing (ADOT, sampling rules, annotations vs metadata), ADOT collector config, and CloudTrail auditing. Use when the user mentions CloudWatch, Log Insights, alarms, INSUFFICIENT_DATA, dashboards, custom metrics, EMF, X-Ray, traces, sampling, CloudTrail, who deleted, ADOT, OpenTelemetry, observability, monitoring, synthetics, canaries, or troubleshooting alarm behavior. Do NOT use for application logging setup, container log drivers, or security threat detection.
amazon-bedrock
Builds generative AI applications on Amazon Bedrock. Covers model invocation (Converse API, InvokeModel), RAG with Knowledge Bases, Bedrock Agents, Guardrails, and AgentCore. Use when invoking models, setting up Knowledge Bases, creating agents, applying guardrails, deploying to AgentCore, troubleshooting Bedrock errors (ThrottlingException, AccessDeniedException), or choosing models (Claude, Llama, Nova, Titan). ALSO USE for prompt caching setup and debugging, quota health checks and throttling diagnosis, cost attribution and tracking, migrating between Claude model generations (4.5 to 4.6 to 4.7), chunking strategies, API selection (Converse vs InvokeModel), guardrail capabilities, and model selection. Also covers AgentCore Payments setup (x402, microtransactions, Payment Manager, Connector, Instrument, Coinbase CDP, Stripe Privy, 402 Payment Required, pay for content, paid endpoint, agent payments). NOT for custom model training, Rekognition, or Comprehend.
