is this the correct way to setup route53 to point to a specific rds instance? aws

1k views Asked by At

Earlier I was asking about how I can direct a geolocation to use a read replica rds instance in other origin and test it.

Route 53 was mentioned and I was then reading the documentation and played around. But I am not sure if I am doing it right, can someone please give me a hand and let me know if I my steps are right and if I am missing anything?

First, there are four options when I go to route 53.

  • dns management
  • traffic management (I chose this one)
  • availability monitoring
  • domain registration

Then I am able to use a visual panel to create the start point -> end point.

After that is done, I see the tabs on the left. I clicked hosted zones to create a hosted zone.

After hosted zone is done, I then went to create a new policy records.

This is where I ended and not sure if I am doing it correctly that if let's say someone from Canada access into app.example.com then it'll actually go to the rds endpoint I added into the traffic policies.

Can someone give me a hand if I am doing anything wrong?
