Custom Domain Name with AWS API Gateway | Step by Step Tutorial

[@prasanjeetmohanty7632]

Great video...thanks for the info....just to add on top of it, I have my domain hosted on google domains, so 2 minor differences for me...first, for the certificate validation, i needed to add the cname record in google domain, and unlike in route53, certificate wasn't issued immediately, took some time, about an hour or so (might have to do something with propagation of dns records in google domain, not sure).... Secondly, the step where "A" record is added in route53, i had to add the same record as a "cname" in google domains, as "A" record expects exact ipv4 addresses and cname can point to a different host..got it working after that...

wow! a wholesome video with clear definition! thanks a lot man.

[@EdchelStephenNini]

Worked so well for me! Thank you so much! :)

one of the bet videos from this channel.

[@ckworton]

Thanks for this! Helped 100% even for edge API endpoint.

[@princepatel6697]

Great tutorial, exactly what I wanted. But a question, when you were done adding aa simple record, at 12:36, we can see a A name record point from your domain to AWS's domain. Aren't A name records supposed to point only to IP addresses ??

[@VIKASSAINI007]

So the thing is you need to host domain in Route 53 (AWS), then AWS allow custom A names to point to AWS services, learned it hard way 🙂

[@prasanjeetmohanty7632]

@@VIKASSAINI007 so this can't be done with google domains..?? It expects an ipv4 address, but the custom domain does not have one, at least i can't find one...

[@prasanjeetmohanty7632]

Nevermind, in google domain I needed to make an entry as "cname" as opposed to "A" record in route53 and it worked....

[@pepinoartworks]

[@Hatem.ElRakhawy]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial, have you made the other video for Edge-optimized endpoint type?

[@BeABetterDev]

Thanks so much Hatem! Not at this time but I'll put it on my list.

[@pikachu5223]

I love you content, im learning aws and you are the best! You have a video for do the same thing but with a static bucket s3? My problem is that i have the domain in a different provider

[@bobcee8126]

I think you should be able to switch to Route 53 by 1. creating a hosted zone in route 53 2. you'll get soa and nameserver records by default 3. you can use the ns record from the hosted zone to ur current provider to make route 53 your default dns manager of sorts

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi Kali, thanks for your kind words. Check out my video on S3 static hosting here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o53Waaefnq5mq8U

[@emredemir6637]

Thank you! It is still helpful :)

You're very welcome!

Great Video! Thanks!

[@gracecarrilloc]

How about adding several endpoints to the same domain?

[@unlock-your-potential-888]

thank you so much. it's so helpful.

[@BeABetterDev]

You're very welcome!

[@josecantero3500]

Hello! I would really like any idea for how to do the following; I want to deploy a recently trained Comprehend model to a website so that my students can interact with it. How can i achieve that? I just want a small white box where they can input the data and another box with the results.

[@Jxxxxxxx]

Hi, nice tutorial! For how long are these certificates valid, and are they automatically autorefreshed after expiration?

[@PaulPatico]

Yes, AWS refresh them automatically after expiration, you do not need to do anything!

[@rishavraj7552]

Thanks a lot, i was stuck in the last part where we have to setup the API gateway alias to the domain as A name in the route53, it's solved!

[@javascript_developer]

great tutorial. thanks

[@ezequielguerra8110]

Maravilloso! Muchas gracias!

[@battlenexustnmt]

whr is the link to setup a domain in ur description ?

[@brenoa.santos4493]

You're very welcome.

[@liamray2010]

Nice tut! 10nx

[@BeABetterDev]

Glad you enjoyed Liam!

[@lukavujeva6584]

Why are you adding A instead of CNAME in the last step? Im not an expert, but in my experience, it was always CNAME. I mean I also did and managed A record they way you did, and it works because it particularly points to the API mapping and it works great.

[@abrahamnzau254]

Hi, great tutorial How to I redirect http traffic to my subdomain to https?

[@danielcraig474]

Thank you!

[@vancedacc4629]

I'm stuck on the last step. I tried a CNAME record as others have suggested but it's not working. Any advice would be really appreciated.

[@Rauzul]

Life saver.

[@BeABetterDev]

Glad you enjoyed Razi!

[@2truffies]

I use Route 53, but I don't have the option to create a record via a wizzard. Via standard way to add a record it doesn't allow to create an A record for anything else than IP adress. So I used the CNAME record and it worked. Just in case anyone had the same case as me.

[@leonardox222]

very good point!. same case, but my domain is managed by other provider

[@vjp00777]

Nice tutorial. How would this work if I need to use 3rd party/private certificate and not from ACM?

[@PJudt]

Import your 3rd party certificate into ACM

[@Dima-bo7wz]

Unfortunately you didn't mentioned how to create API (9:53) that's why I dont have any information in Configure API Mapping section. so I can"t go further with your tutorial...

[@hunqiangng2511]

How to assign elastic ip address to APIGW

[@Jesanchez24]

Excelente video, solo me toco investigar por aparte el tema de Route 53

[@techenthusiast127]

I don't see any option in my API dropdown in Configure API mappings. I followed everything right. The certificate were even issued correctly.

[@damiandanev9271]

Will this result in additional costs?

[@SaketAnandPage]

What if I am using a different DNS provider, They only allow ipv4 address in A Record.

[@97pixels]

Thanks a lot for the video. AWS docs are really terrible at explaining all these required steps.

[@ezeikel]

Great video! Wondering if this would work for 3rd party registered domains e.g. Google Domains? Would the CNAME record just need to be added to the DNS

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi Ezeikel, I haven't tried this but don't see why it wouldn't work!

[@VIKASSAINI007]

Tried but not working, also thing is you need to host domain in Route 53 (AWS), then AWS allow custom A names to point to AWS services, learned it hard way 🙂

[@CariagaXIII]

you probably should put the api gateway behind cloudfront for security instead of api gateway upfront in route 53

[@sourabhdeshpande2112]

but this giving error to the Cloudflare

[@sergeyvaulin]

Fyi, who uses third party services you need just add CNAME instead of A record. It works for me.

[@rajeev200385]

For third party domain names, do we need to update Route53 with CNAME?

[@aliosmanTr-n1m]

Yes i see you are world of warcraft player 😅

[@kingofalps]

Thanks! very helpful

[@bobdpa]

Awesome. Thanks!
