Traffic is not routed to Elastic Load Balancer even after Route 53 record is created


I have a load balancer at this URL, which points to a Beanstalk application running at this URL. Currently, it just returns the current time.

I'm trying to make the application available at squadify.me, a domain name I own, via the load balancer.

After following this guide to create the necessary Route 53 record, I was expecting to be able to access the application (via the load balancer) at squadify.me. Am I missing something? The Route 53 records I currently have in place are shown below.

Route 53 records for squadify.me


Solution

  • A Registered Domain in Amazon Route 53 will be assigned a set of four Nameservers. The Nameservers reside in different top-level domains, such as .co.uk, .net, .org and .com.

    The server numbers are randomly (but very specifically) chosen for each domain. It is important that the name servers associated with your domain are the same as the domain names listed in the NS record for the domain.

    To see the correct servers to use, go to Registered Domains, select your domain and choose "Add/edit name servers". If they are different to the NS record, then edit the NS record to match the nameservers displayed.
