After creating the S3 static website and configuring it for a Cloudfront distribution, we got the HTTPS security layer, however life is already too stessfull for many to remember Cloudfront Domain name such as https://d1cs99***.cloudfront.net
This is where a custom DNS domain name comes into the picture.
www.komlalebu.com
Route53
I registered my new domain name on AWS Route53. Route53 is a scalable cloud Domain Name System(DNS) web service where you can register as well as manage your DNS configurations for your domains.
From the Route53 console I clicked on create hosted zone.
and named my domain as komlalebu.com
Once that was done I setup my hosted zone with an alias record for sub domain www and the alias value pointing to the Cloudfront Domain name which I had previously configured will SSL certificate from ACM.
And it was done. The website has a simple address now.
