AWS route 53 subdomain/ s3 bucket with cloudFront

Question

I have two websites (https://website1.com and https://website2.com) hosted on two different AWS account:

• I'm using route 53 with a hosted zone for https://website1.com, which is hosted on s3.
• https://website2.com is hosted on s3 with a cloudFront.

What I want to achieve: I want https://website2.com to be displayed on https://subdomain.website1.com.

So far I have defined a simple record in route 53 with the following:

• name: subdomain.website1.com
• type: CNAME
• Route traffic to: IP address
• Value: ???

What should I add in the value field? The IP of the cloudFront used to display https://website2.com?

Answer 1

Each CloudFront distribution has a name, you can grab it from CloudFront object. take the cname and use it for the route53 record
