Setup
I've got the below configured in a single AWS account. If it helps, the Client is Kibana and the Service is ElasticSearch.
What I'm trying to do
Route traffic from the "Client" EC2 instances to an Internal Application Load Balancer using a Route53 Alias Record in a Private Hosted Zone.
I've followed AWS's documentation, and as I understand it, I should just be able to create the alias record in the Private Hosted zone... and the good new is, I can
The Hosted Zone name is internal.my_company.com
The Alias name is service.internal.my_company.com
Problem
If I open a Session Manager terminal on one of the Clients and run the following:
curl <internal_load_balancer_dns>:9200
I get a response from the Service as expected
However, if I run
curl service.internal.my_company.com:9200
I get the following response
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: service.internal.my_company.com
I've googled around, but can't find anything recent relating to this. Have I missed something in letting Route53 know how to reach the Internal Load Balancer?
Let me know if you need more information about the setup.
Thanks
Is the VPC hosting your private subnets associated with the private hosted zone? (Probably so, since you have to pick a VPC when creating the zone.)
For the VPC, did you enable DnsHostnames and DnsSupport?
VPC --> Actions

I have an ECS cluster setup with a container that runs a microservice hosting a public and private HTTP server.
I have the public HTTP server being connected through an Elastic Load Balancer which is working correctly, however the internal HTTP server is being routed via AWS Cloud Map and Route 53 with a private hosted zone.
AWS Cloud Map finds the instance correctly, however when trying to access the private endpoint from another ECS task I get a no such host error.
Any suggestions on what could be the cause?
Thanks!
For me it's resolved that DNS Hostnames and DNS resolution are enabled in your VPC settings,
Go to your VPC dashboard then press on "Actions" button then
Press Edit DNS hostnames
Check the "Enable" checkbox
and same goes for DNS resolution.
I am running a Spring Boot Application (as a RESTful Webservice) dockerized in an EC2 Instance. If I start the container, everything is working fine, but only with HTTP. e.g. http://ec2-54-93-55.eu-central...com
I already tried setting up the Security Groups of my EC2 Instance, where I enabled HTTPS, but it still does not work.
Now I want to add a SSL Certificate to my Instance with the AWS Certificate Manager. The problem is now, that I need a hosted domain for this and I can not use the Domain of my EC2 Instance.
I tried setting it up as api.mydomain.com and it is verified now. How can I now connect my EC2 Instance with this domain?
I tried creating an Alias in Route 53 by routing api.mydomain.com to the EC2 public DNS. But this did not work too.
You will not be able to attach an ACM public certificate to your EC2 instance as they are required to be attached to either one of these resources:
CloudFront
Elastic Load Balancer.
Once these are configured you will need to update the DNS record on your hosting provider to target the CNAME of whichever of these resources they use.
If you were using Route 53 as your hosting provider you would add your record to the public hosted zone for that domain, however this process is slightly different for each DNS provider.
I have a Wordpress website with a GoDaddy domain being hosted on SiteGround using the nameservers. I am looking to switch to a React App which is currently running on an EC2 instance in AWS. I want to run the ec2 instance (aka the react app) on a subdomain like beta.domain.com inside SiteGround while still keeping the Wordpress website since its a part of my business. I tried creating a subdomain in SiteGround and then pointed it to my EC2 instance elastic IP (the public ipv4) using an A record but it is showing "This site can't be reached" error once I go to beta.domain.com.
What am I doing wrong? How do I run the EC2 instance in a subdomain hosted in SiteGround?
EDIT
Thank you, everyone, for your help. The problem was the SSL certificate for the HTTPS. The website wasn't coming on due to the HTTPS setup on the Nginx on the EC2 instance. After I put in the details of the certificate it runs properly with just the A record.
Any public address in the AWS environment are never accessible from outside the security groups. Even if you try to ssh from your own machine and if it is not in the inbound rule of the security group of your EC2 instance. I feel there are 3 ways out here.
1.) Adding an all traffic rule in your EC2 Security group inbound rule. This is not recommended as it opens all traffic to your machine.(additional tip: set up secure ssh key with the machine)
2.) Use an ELB to route traffic to your EC2 instance. ELB will provide you with a DNS record which can be used an a CNAME in godaddy(Point 3 shows how to map it as a A record in GoDaddy)
3.) Using Route 53 Hosted Zones - You could delegate your DNS to be managed by AWS Route 53. This way all traffic will be routed to your machine by AWS R53.
Another tip: Elastic IP can also be used which are like permanent static IP Addresses accessible from across internet. This provided a secure communication method to your instances.
Let me know what could be the favorable solution for you. I could help you out further
If you have registered your domain name with Goaddy, you can create subdomain in Godaddy as CNAME and point it to static IP address of your ec2 instance. Here is a link to guide you.
Also your main domain name will point to your Wordpress website on SiteGround.
Now that you have EC2 instance, you can also run a wordpress site on that instance if you like.
I have successfully built a VPN connection between gcp and aws using the following guide(https://cloud.google.com/solutions/automated-network-deployment-multicloud).
I can currently ping the resources on the other cloud providers based on the private IP. However, I would like to use the dns resolution that resolves to private IP of the AWS resource DNS names. Can someone please help me with this?. Using DNS server policy may not be the best of options for me as it points to alternative name server only and not the gcp’s internal name servers anymore. So how can I use forwarding zones in gcp for DNS names such as database-test.c34fdgt1ascxz.us-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com so that it resolves to private IP. The above example is for database which I have not made public. Has someone done this already? Or does anyone have any idea on how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated, thank you so much.
It is possible.
If your goal is to configure outbound forwarding to AWS, then you should remove this policy you just need a Cloud DNS managed zone to accomplish this.
The DNS queries that are forwarded from GCP to AWS will come from the 35.199.192.0/19 address block.
The 35.199.192.0/19 traffic can be routed over a dynamic VPN tunnel dynamic (BGP), so you would just need to modify your AWS VPN gateway or router by adding a route that to reach 35.199.192.0/19.
It looks like a public address block, but Google uses this block only for forwarding, and does not announce it on the public Internet.
And finally, AWS needs to be configured so that responses to DNS queries from 35.199.192.0/19 are routed back to GCP using the VPN tunnel configured between AWS and GCP.
In other words, this traffic needs to go through the VPN tunnel.
To debug it you can use stackdriver logging and also by checking network captures on both endpoints.
Check this documentation guides: Creating Forward zones1 and DNS forwarding2.
You can't resolve AWS private IP addresses by submitting the AWS public endpoint to GCP's DNS. That just wont work.
AWS uses a service called Route53 resolver that will forward requests that can't be resolved internally to an external DNS server that you specify. We use this in our env's to resolve on-prem corp IP's that are not part of Route53. I have not tried this, but it's possible you can use that to point to GCP DNS.
Say I have an AWS ec2 instance that is running a python application on a certain port say 8000. Also imagine I have a domain name say www.abcd.com that I own. What does it take to make my website use https and securely redirect to the app on my ec2 that is listening on port 8000? Is this even possible to do or do I need something like nginx in between?
Firstly you will need to ensure that your EC2 is in a public subnet with a public IP, it will also need its security group open on whatever port you are hitting it on (8000). At this point you should be able to hit your application on public ip:port.
Now if you want to do the above while using a domain you will want to use AWS's Route 53 service. From this you can create a DNS routing using your domain. You will want to create a route from: application.example.com to your instances public ip. After doing so you should be able to visit: application.example.com and hit your application. In doing the following it is possible now to make your EC2 instance private.
Now if you wish to include HTTPS ontop of this, the best way would be to create a public load balancer with a certificate attached, this would accept HTTPS traffic from your user, then forward that traffic over HTTP to your EC2 on a selected port (8000).
After doing this you will want to change your Route53 entry to point to your load balancer instead of directly at your EC2.
Yes, it is totally possible.
Here is step wise procedure to do it :-
you need to create hosted zone on Route-53 services of amazon
Then it use ns to connect with your domain ( wherever you have registered)
Then you need to connect your ec2 instance ip with your hosted zone
Now you can access your ec2 instances using this domain, but it will be not https
For https, you need certificate, which you can avail from aws certificate-manager
After obtaining the certificate, Follow the steps from this blog How to set up HTTPS for your domain on AWS.
NOTE:- This is just uber point, follow it and look for more insight to how you exactly do it in your case. I followed this step while deploying using elastic-beanstalk.
