Set up AWS Route53
Route 53 helps us configure domain names to point to the website deployed on AWS, making access more convenient.
In this section, we need to prepare a domain name. The domain name to be used with the Hosted Zone on Route 53 only needs to be validly registered and have DNS management rights. I am using a domain borrowed from a friend, nguyenthanhhuy.id.vn. You can also register a free .id.vn domain from domain service providers like matbao, tenten, etc.
