Hi guys,

I am trying to install Zenoss 5 on one of the EC2 hosts. Some of the underlying Zenoss5 services are only accessible through a virtual host. For example, if ec2-X-X-X-X.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com is the public DNS of the EC2 host, then the URL to the zenoss5 service is https://zenoss5.ec2-X-X-X-X.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com, where X.X.X.X is the public IP for the EC2 host. So I went to Route 53 and created a DNS record:

Name: zenoss5.ec2-X-X-X-X.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
Type: CNAME
Alias: No
TTL: 300 Seconds
Value: ec2-X-X-X-X.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
Routing Policy: Simple

I created this record 3 days ago but I still can't nslookup this virtual host:

$ nslookup zenoss5.ec2-X-X-X-X.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

server can't find zenoss5.ec2-X-X-X-X.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com: NXDOMAIN

How do I fix this

Thanks in advance!

IMHO that's not possible. You can manage your own domain, but not Amazon's domain. If it'll be so easy, then I'll redirect amazon.com to jangaraj.com by using Amazon Route53 service :-D

I tried also your example, but it's not working.
=> Use your own domain, or edit your local host file.

Devops Monitoring Expert advice: Dockerize/automate/monitor all the things.

I'm not an amazon expert, and without the IP address portion I can't tell you precisely what's going on, but CNAMEs are Alias records.
