Route www subdomain traffic to https domain cloudfront

I have a domain say example.com paired with Cloudfront and S3 to host a static website. The problem is while https://example.com and http://example.com are working fine but www.example.com is not working.

How can I add the config to route the traffic correctly from www sub-domin also? Thanks!

Solution

  • Follow the below steps to satisfy your requirement:

    • In N-Virginia region Open ACM (Certificates Manager), request a certificate for test.example.com, and add www.test.example.com as an alternate domain (@ Add another name to this certificate)
    • Open created certificate and click on Create Records in Route53, then wait for it to succeed.
