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.

The procedure covers:
Add the domain as an alternate domain name in the CloudFront distribution configuration before creating Route 53 records.
ACM certificates for CloudFront must be in us-east-1. Ensure the certificate is validated and associated with the distribution.
CloudFront only works with public hosted zones. Create a public hosted zone if only a private one exists.
Changes typically propagate within 60 seconds but full global propagation can take up to 48 hours. Use nslookup or dig to verify.
