Multi tenancy laravel app hosted on elastic beanstalk environment

Question

Question is related to the sub domain that I pointed to the EB environment domain from CloudFlare.  The issue is how can I identify the tenant based on sub domain?

In my localhost environment I created a Virtual host by editing the host file like this `127.0.0.1   netlink` 
after creating the virtual host I can ping to that api endpoints like this `netlink:8000/api`

How can I achieve the same with domain like this `netlink.mydomain.com` ? In here **netlink** is the sub domain created for the tenant in CloudFlare host ( CNAME record ).  `netlink.mydomain.com` this domain being pointed to the Elastic Beanstalk domain.

Do I need to create VH in every sub domains in AWS ?

Note: I'm using the laravel tenancy package to create tenants. https://tenancyforlaravel.com/docs/v3

Answer

Hello,

As you mentioned that you have  created netlink as subnet and that was created for the tenant in CloudFlare host ( CNAME record ). netlink.mydomain.com this domain being pointed to the Elastic Beanstalk domain. So you have to create similarly for all subdomains and point them to beanstalk.  Please note that route 53 is a dns service and didn't understand host redirection or http headers.

For example you can have sub-domain configuration like below :

```
netlink.mydomain.com A (Alias) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXelasticbeanstalk.com.

XYZ.mydomain.comA (Alias) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.elasticbeanstalk.com.
```

Hence I will suggest you to please have to look on how to create subdomains [here](https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/create-subdomain-route-53)

Thank you!!
