AWS Route 53 -- create Hosted Zone with third level Domain Name?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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
