How to make custom DNS for RDS instance?

0

How can I create a custom DNS for my RDS instance? Rather than the AWS-provided name, we want it to be short and simple to remember. Can someone provide a general steps for it?

Hi,

It depends on what you already have. If you have your Route53 hosted zone, it will be as simple as:

  1. Create a CNAME record and point it to the DNS name of your RDS instance

The downside of this approach is big enough, so I would not recommend doing it just to have a nice name:

  1. If you have a public hosted zone, you will unveil your RDS name to the internet
  2. You can't use a TLS connection with FQDN check.
