Amazon provides a domain names like blah-blah.amazonaws.com. They want us to use the domain name instead of an IP because the IPs are transient.

The local hosts file on my computer only takes IP addresses. So, how can I redirect dev.example.com to blah-blah.amazonaws.com locally from my machine?

  • Why do you need to do this on your local hosts file? Can you create a DNS entry?

In the DNS zone for for example.com you create a cname record of dev, pointing to blah-blah.amazonaws.com. (the trailing dot in the URL is very important).
