Route53 subdomain alias for S3 bucket
I am trying to static webpage from S3 bucket.
Created S3 bucket test.dev.mydomain.com with following policy
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "PublicReadGetObject",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": "s3:GetObject",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::test.dev.mydomain.com/*"
}
]
}
After this I was able to access the http://test.dev.mydomain.com.s3-website-us-west-1.amazonaws.com
Now I want to create DNS record under mydomain.com in route53. I tried to create following alias in Route53
Name : test.dev.mydomain.com
Type : A - IPv4 address(Tried CNAME too)
Alias : Yes
Alias Target : test.dev.mydomain.com.s3-website-us-west-1.amazonaws.com
but getting
- Alias Target contains an invalid value. while saving the record.
Update after John Rotenstein's answer :
Was able to select the bucket from the list after waiting more than 10 min and save the record.
Able to access http://test.dev.mydomain.com.s3-website-us-west-1.amazonaws.com
But still test.dev.mydomain.com giving 404 page not found
Update :
Recent finding is test.dev.mydomain.com works only in firefox, not any other browser.

I got this to work as follows:
- Created an Amazon S3 bucket in the ap-southeast-2 region
- Activated Static Website Sharing
- Created a Record Set in Route 53 with:
- DNS name that matches the bucket name
- Type: A
- Alias: Yes
- Alias Target: Selected bucket from list
Note: It took a long time (10 minutes?) before the bucket appeared in the list!
The format was:
- Bucket name:
foo.domain.com
- Alias Target:
s3-website-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com
Note that the target does not contain the bucket name! This is because the DNS name will resolve to S3, which will then use the full DNS name to determine the bucket name.

This is actually because the DNS name will resolve to a generic regional S3 endpoint, which will then use the HTTPHostheader sent by the browser to determine the bucket name. The original name in the query to Route 53 isn't preserved at the DNS layer.

Chrome & Safari redirect all http to https and because of this http://test.dev.mydomain.com not working in Chrome & Safari. But http://test.dev.mydomain.com.s3-website-us-west-1.amazonaws.com was working.
I fixed this by adding CloudFront to this sub/domain and everything works on https
