I've added AWS A & AAA record on Cloudflare domain. Do I still need to add AWS' CNAME on Cloudflare?

0

My domain is registered with Cloudflare and I've added AWS A & AAA record on Cloudflare. Do I still need to do the AWS CDN? Do I still need to add AWS' CNAME on Cloudflare?

  • What do you exactly want to achieve with the domain and aws.

  • Yeah, what are you trying to acheive... What A and AAAA records did you create?

  • I'm trying to host a Wordpress site (samuelOla.com) on AWS Lightsail. My domain name is registered to Cloudflare. On Cloudflare, you can't add custom Nameservers unless you subscribe to business ($20/month). So, because of that, I added my AWS Lightsail's A and AAA record on Cloudflare. Should I proceed to create a CDN on AWS Lightsail and add the records on Cloudflare? Or, what next step should I take to complete my Wordpress setup.

The blueprint provided by the blog entry, has you set up:
