routing-traffic-with-route53-and-cloudfront

routing-traffic-with-route53-and-cloudfront is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. It costs 58 tokens per session (371 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An AWS guide for sending a custom domain's traffic through Route 53 DNS to a CloudFront content delivery distribution. It includes HTTPS certificates and IPv6 DNS records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up hosted zones, alias records, alternate domain names, ACM certificates, and DNS propagation checks.
Why use it?
It removes the configuration gaps that can leave a domain, certificate, or DNS route disconnected from CloudFront.

About the project

Agent Toolkit for AWS is a collection of AWS-supported MCP servers, skills, plugins, commands, and hooks that help AI coding agents build, deploy, and manage applications on AWS. It is used by developers working with AWS services through agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Kiro. The catalogue entries are the toolkit's own agent extensions for AWS development and operations.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

routing-traffic-with-route53-and-cloudfront scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Routing Traffic with Route 53 and CloudFront

Overview

Domain expertise for configuring Amazon Route 53 to route traffic to Amazon CloudFront distributions using custom domain names. Covers hosted zone management, alias A/AAAA records, alternate domain name (CNAME) configuration, and ACM certificate setup for HTTPS.

Configure Route 53 to route traffic to a CloudFront distribution

To set up a custom domain for a CloudFront distribution with Route 53 DNS, follow the procedure exactly. See Route 53 CloudFront routing procedure.

The procedure covers:

  • Verifying CloudFront distribution status and CNAME configuration
  • Requesting and validating ACM certificates (must be in us-east-1)
  • Creating or locating public hosted zones
  • Creating alias A and AAAA records pointing to CloudFront
  • Monitoring DNS propagation

Troubleshooting

Domain not in CloudFront CNAMEs

Add the domain as an alternate domain name in the CloudFront distribution configuration before creating Route 53 records.

SSL certificate issues

ACM certificates for CloudFront must be in us-east-1. Ensure the certificate is validated and associated with the distribution.

Private hosted zone

CloudFront only works with public hosted zones. Create a public hosted zone if only a private one exists.

DNS propagation delays

Changes typically propagate within 60 seconds but full global propagation can take up to 48 hours. Use nslookup or dig to verify.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
