adding a subdomain to route 53 with cloudfront

Question

I have an Lightsail server that I would like to use to host multiple websites. I've set up a virtual host on apache to do this, and I have verified that it works by adding the server IP address as an A record for that subdomain. However, what I would like to do is have everything run through the Cloudfront CDN just as the main domain is currently. So I have dathlab.link set up, and would like to get testing.dathlab.link running. I removed the A record. What do I need to adjust in order to make this work? I am guessing my DNS settings in Route 53 need to be changed, but how?

Answer

Assuming the subdomains are serving up different content, you will need to create a CloudFront distribution for each subdomain and then in Route 53 use an Alias in the subdomain record to point to the distribution.

Answer

What ended up working was to keep my single CloudFront distribution and single server, then have Route 53 CNAMEs for each subdomain I set up via the TLS/SSL cert system. Also as a note, the virtual host does not need an https config on the server, likely because the CloudFront TLS system removes that necessity
