Remove default AWS Amplify domain

Question

I have a frontend React application deployed using AWS Amplify. By default when creating the app and setting the repository and branch, there is a default domain attributed to the app but I already added a custom domain and now I want to remove the default one so the app can only be accessible through the custom domain. How can I remove the default domain?

Answer

Hello.

I don't think you can delete the default domain (amplifyapp.com) because it is tied to Amplify.  
As an alternative, consider redirecting to a custom domain when accessing the default domain.  
You can use Amplify's redirect settings to redirect access from the default domain to a custom domain.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amplify/latest/userguide/redirects.html#simple-redirects-and-rewrites

Specifically, I think it would be best to configure the following redirect settings.  
| Original address | Destination Address | Redirect Type | Country Code |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| https://branch-name.d1m7bkiki6tdw1.amplifyapp.com | https://example.com | permanent redirect (301) |  |

Answer

Thanks for the answer above. Ideally I would like to remove completely but if it's not possible, then redirecting might be enough. Can you also let me know if it's possible to limit the access for a list of IPs? Thanks in advance.
