1. We are using Route 53 to register our domain name and create a record set

Go to Route 53 from your AWS management console > Hosted zones > Click your hosted zone

Select Create record

These are the settings that we need for our record. Take note of the following settings

Record name: www

Record type: Routes traffic to an IPv4 address and some AWS resources

Alias: toggled on

Routes traffic to: Alias to Application and Classic Load Balancer

Region: US East (N. Virginia) [us-east-1]

We will leave the rest of the settings to default

We have successfully created the record set in Route 53.
