AWS Registered Domain Not Updating

Question

Hello,
I purchased a domain from AWS. I verified it by email. For the last month I can't get it to host static site nor can I get it share MX records. Originally the domain was with Linode. I probably transferred it incorrectly. However, it has had a month to shake out.

dig deusdatsolutions.com ANY

If I use one of AWS's NS servers, I get pretty much the same dig result.

Here's what my hosted zone looks like: https://postimg.cc/c6506Xbz

In the Registered domains > deusdatsolutions.com the name servers are
ns-1168.awsdns-18.org
ns-1688.awsdns-19.co.uk
ns-93.awsdns-11.com
ns-982.awsdns-58.net

CloudFront makes the site accessible at d2m10d7xvwvico.cloudfront.net, which is pointed to properly in the A record. It also uses the cert from Cert Manager.

As far as I know, I have no logs to share. Finally, I created all of this following the example from CDK static site sample code. https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples/tree/master/typescript/static-site

I appreciate the help. Thanks.

That worked perfectly. Thank you for the succinct steps. I understand what I did wrong. I also would not have figured this out on my own.

Hi,  
  
Name servers appear in three places, and they should all be the same:  
~ The name servers that Route 53 assigned to a hosted zone when you created it. These are the "master" name servers, and the other two places should match these.  
~ The name servers in the NS record in that hosted zone.  
~ The name servers that are assigned to your domain registration.  
  
I'd guess that you deleted a hosted zone, created a new one, and then changed the name servers in the NS record to match the name servers for the domain registration. To make them all match again, perform the following procedures:  
  
1. Get the name servers that Route 53 assigned to the hosted zone. See "Getting the Name Servers for a Public Hosted Zone" in the _Route 53 Developer Guide_:  
  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/GetInfoAboutHostedZone.html  
  
2. Update the NS record to use the name servers that you got in step 1. See "Editing Records":  
  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/resource-record-sets-editing.html  
  
3. Update the name servers for your domain registration to use the name servers that you got in step 1. See "Adding or Changing Name Servers and Glue Records for a Domain":  
  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-name-servers-glue-records.html
