DNS addressing and custom domains in AWS Global Accelerator

This chapter explains how AWS Global Accelerator does DNS routing and includes information about using a custom domain with Global Accelerator. It also includes the steps for configuring bring your own IP (BYOIP) addresses to use with accelerators in Global Accelerator.

  • DNS addressing: When you create an accelerator, Global Accelerator assigns a default Domain Name System (DNS) name to your accelerator.

  • Custom domain name: You can configure DNS to use your custom domain name (such as www.example.com) with your accelerator, instead of using the assigned static IP addresses or the default DNS name.

  • BYOIP IP addresses: You can bring your own IP addresses to AWS to add to an accelerator instead of, or together with, the static IP addresses that Global Accelerator assigns to you.
