AWS Route 53 problem DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

Viewed 25487

On AWS we have 2 Elastic Beanstalk instances and one S3 bucket for a static website. Since app used Login With Amazon we added https protocol. Recently we moved a domain to Route 53, created SSL certificates and configured Load Balancers with https for each of instances.

The website/elastic instances work well when addressed to generic by AWS domains. But we faced with a problem when using the created domain on route 53. Sometimes domain is not available and we don't know why (see attached video). Failed to open route 53 domain

This issue reproduces on Safari when you refresh a web page many times and our servers become unavailable. We spent 1 week trying to fix this problem without any success. The real problem is that we don't even know what can be a reason. Any thoughts? Thanks for any response!

As I can see from your domain informations you are pointing to an AWS IP-Address with an A-Record.

You should point your domain as "CNAME" to the AWS Url.

The IP of your Elastic Beanstalk Instances can change, the Elastic Beanstalk Url does not.
