DNS configuration for AWS Management Console and AWS Sign-In
To route your network traffic to respective VPC endpoints, configure DNS records in the network from which your users will be accessing the AWS Management Console. These DNS records will direct your users browser traffic toward the VPC endpoints you created.
You can create a single hosted zone. However, endpoints such as
health.aws.amazon.com
and docs.aws.amazon.com
won't be
accessible because they don't have VPC endpoints. You will need to route these domains to
the public internet. We recommend that you create two private hosted zones per Region, one
for signin.aws.amazon.com
and one for console.aws.amazon.com
with
the following CNAME records:
-
Regional CNAME records (in all Regions)
-
region
.signin.aws.amazon.com pointing to the AWS Sign-In VPC endpoint in the signin DNS zone -
region
.console.aws.amazon.com pointing to the AWS Management Console VPC endpoint in the console DNS zone -
Regionless CNAME records for the US East (N. Virginia) Region only. You always have to set up the US East (N. Virginia) Region.
-
signin.aws.amazon.com pointing to AWS Sign-In VPC endpoint in US East (N. Virginia) (us-east-1)
-
console.aws.amazon.com pointing to AWS Management Console VPC endpoint in US East (N. Virginia) (us-east-1)
-
For instructions on creating a CNAME record, see Working with records in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.
Some AWS consoles, including Amazon S3, use different patterns for their DNS names. The following are two examples:
-
support.console.aws.amazon.com
-
s3.console.aws.amazon.com
To be able to direct this traffic to your AWS Management Console VPC endpoint, you need to add those names individually. We recommend that you configure routing for all endpoints for a fully private experience. However, this isn't required to use AWS Management Console Private Access.
The following json
files contain the full list of AWS services and
console endpoints to configure per Region. Use the PrivateIpv4DnsNames
field
under the com.amazonaws.

Note
This list is updated each month as we add additional endpoints to the scope of AWS Management Console Private Access. To keep your private hosted zones updated, periodically pull the preceding list of files.
If you use Route 53 to configure your DNS, go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/v2/hostedzones# to verify the DNS setup. For each Private Hosted Zone in Route 53, verify that the following record sets are present.
-
console.aws.amazon.com
-
signin.aws.amazon.com
-
region
.console.aws.amazon.com -
