Friendly names for internal ELBs-AWS

Question

We have internal load balancers in AWS, and they have very long addresses, like

Internal-abcdefghi-1878388.eu-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com

We have vpn setup so we have access to the load balancer from our browsers. Is there a way to have a "friendlier" name for load balancers? I'd be happy with using something like foo.ourdomain.com, where ourdomain.com is a public hosted zone, or setting up a private hosting zone. I tried adding a subdomain with alias pointing to the internal ELB, but that doesn't seem to help much to us

Answer 1

Create Route53 hosted zone and define a record set. Use the following parameters:

Name = oursubdomain

Type = A - IPV4 address

Alias = Yes

Target = alias to a Load Balancer

You can either make it Public or Private Hosted Zone as per your Requirements.
