I have deployed an application with Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk service, now it runs in http://sample-env-1.abcde.us-east-1.elasticbeanstalk.com/home, and now I want to point my domain name (registered with name.com) to this application. I created a hosted zone with Route 53, which gives me 4 namespaces, is it enough to add these records in my domain registrar's console?
I feel like I'm missing something since I didn't tell which application should this hosted zone be relevant to (since I can have multiple applications). How do I do that?
Thanks,
Your way of doing it is right.
Type the domain name in Hosted Zone of Amazon Route 53 Management console.
And from your domain provider console point your domain to your Elastic Beanstalk environment namespace. Amazon will handle the rest, if the setup is done correctly.
As stated in the manual:
When an Amazon Route 53 DNS server receives a name request for your
custom domain name, it resolves to the elasticbeanstalk.com subdomain,
which resolves to the public DNS name of your Elastic Load Balancing
load balancer, which relays requests to the instances in your
environment.
Please refer to the Elastic Beanstalk manual for more information: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/customdomains.html

I have an elastic beanstalk app which I have successfully connected to my google domain name by changing my name server. The only problem is that all my google DNS records/email settings are now disabled since I am using amazon's name servers. I could transfer my domain to route 53 however I must remain using GSuite for work related reasons.
How can I direct traffic from my google domain to elastic beanstalk without changing the name server? I am fairly inexperience with DNS so any help would be much appreciated.

All you needed to do was create another CNAME record in your DNS server that pointed to the Elastic Beanstalk instance (or load balancer). You didn't need to change name servers.
I have a simple AWS setup of 2 VMs hosting a WebApp. An Application Load Balancer is in-front of these machines. I can access the DNS name of the Load Balancer and can reach to the WebApp.
Now, I want to connect to my app with a domain name hosted on Godaddy. I tried to simply create CNAME (as no Elastic IP on Application LB) with the LB's DNS name, but it didn't work.
What am I missing ? I tried with godaddy support but already wasted 7 days with not solution.
I want to put SSL certificate also on ALB. Should I be aware of anything specific in this setup?
The problem was, I was trying to CNAME for root level domain. Now, I created an alias in Route 53 and used AWS's nameservers on Godaddy to forward request there.
I have a Java/Tomcat application hosted in AWS ElasticBeanstalk and bought a domain from GoDaddy and the domain points to the IP of the EC2 instance. So when I hit, for example www.abc.com, it points to the AWS IP and the application opens.
I haven't used Route 53, as I am in free tier, I added the EC2 IP in GoDaddy.
Now I want to add HTTPS/SSL to the domain using Let's Encrypt.
I searched for the solution but I found that it is also done using GoDaddy cPanel, as I have hosted the application in AWS and just registered domain from GoDaddy, I cannot do this.
How can I achieve this ?
You will want to use an Elastic Load Balancer (also known as Classic Load Balancer). I know you don’t want to use a Load Balancer but this is free and the AWS best practice. Here’s more detail - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/classic/elb-create-https-ssl-load-balancer.html
I have my custom domain xxx.com.pl I would like to run a service on Elastic Beanstalk. How should I configure my domain. Should I use my Elastic Load Balancer DNS:
awseb-e-k-AWSEBLoa-xxx.eu-central-1.elb.amazonaws.com
or environment URL:
xxx.asdasdasda.eu-central-1.elasticbeanstalk.com
If I select environment URL I can always create another environment and use swap URLs for recovery. I cannot do this easy way If I select ELB DNS. Probably usage of ELB DNS is faster. Am I right? What is the best practice?
Create a CNAME record to point to the Load Balancer: awseb-e-k-AWSEBLoa-xxx.eu-central-1.elb.amazonaws.com
However if you are using Route 53, create an A record and use Alias=Yes to point to your Elastic Beanstalk app. This type of Alias resolution incurs no charge in Route 53.
Interestingly, AWS Elastic Beanstalk Adds Support for Amazon Route 53 Aliasing suggests that either name is now acceptable.

I would like to point my Elastic Beanstalk application to a specific domain app.company.com. To do it (according to AWS Guide), I have to create Route 53 Hosted Zone for this mapping. The problem is that I cannot change the name servers for the company.com. However, I would still like to use app.company.com for my Elastic Beanstalk. Are there any other ways to achieve this?
You'll have to go onto your domain registrar and add app.company.com there. Then add a CNAME to point to the Elastic beanstalk endpoint.
You can't use Route53 without moving the nameservers to point to AWS
