You'd need to set the DNS nameservers for your domain if you configured the CLI to manage the DNS for you, by setting createHostedZoneForDomain
to true
(the default setting). The DNS is managed using a .
The nameservers are displayed as logs at the end of the cli run. If you no longer have access to the logs, you can re-run the CLI apply
command and it will display the nameservers again.
Copy the nameserveres from the notops apply
output. They look like the part highlighted in red in the following screenshot. There are four nameservers that look like ns-1667.awsdns-16.co.uk
. Keep these handy. We'll use them in the steps below.
Select the option to use CustomDNS
while following the steps.
In the field where the nameservers are specified, remove all of the existing entries. Add the nameservers from the CLI output, one per line.
While following those steps, pick the option to use your own, custom, nameservers. This option may be titled "I'll use my own nameservers"
If your provider is not mentioned explicitly here, you can usually find the settings by logging into the provider's portal, and looking for DNS settings or nameserver settings. Most providers make it very easy to alter these settings.
Additionally, searching for "Set custom nameservers for <your provider name here>" should find the help you are looking for.
The output will display whether your DNS has been propagated into various regions of the world. Check that the nameservers that are showing up (highligthen in red below) match what you see in the CLI output
Once it's been propagated to the areas you care about, you can start using the domain-name like you usually would.
