AWS Route 53 CNAME vs Alias

CNAMEAlias
Route 53 charges for CNAME queriesRoute 53 doesn’t charge for alias
queries to AWS resources
You can’t create a CNAME record at
the top node of a DNS namespace
(zone apex)
You can create an alias record at the
zone apex (however you can’t route to
a CNAME at the zone apex)
A CNAME can point to any DNS
record that is hosted anywhere
An alias record can only point to a
CloudFront distribution, Elastic
Beanstalk environment, ELB, S3 bucket
as a static website, or to another
record in the same hosted zone that
you’re creating the alias record in
