Explanation
After registering a domain in Route 53, it is essential to configure the domain for DNS management and hosting. This involves creating a hosted zone, updating the domain's name servers, and associating the domain with a resource (e.g., S3 bucket or Elastic Load Balancer). Optional steps like setting up CloudFront or purchasing an SSL/TLS certificate enhance functionality but are not mandatory for basic setup.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Associating the domain with a resource like an S3 bucket or Elastic Load Balancer is key to hosting a website, but this step comes after DNS configuration.
- B. Correct.
Correct. After domain registration, you must update the domain's name servers to point to Route 53. This ensures Route 53 manages DNS for the domain.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While configuring CloudFront can enhance performance, it is an optional step and not mandatory for basic domain setup.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Creating a hosted zone in Route 53 is necessary to manage DNS records for the domain.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Purchasing an SSL/TLS certificate is only required if you want to enable HTTPS for the website, and it is not a mandatory step for initial domain setup.
