Amazon Q Web Experience URL Alias Redirect to custom Domain
As an AWS Architect aiming to direct users to a new Amazon Q web experience via a custom domain name managed by Route 53, I've encountered challenges despite creating public hosted zones in both us-east-2 and us-west-1 regions, where the service is active. Despite trying various alias and record types, Amazon Q does not appear in the service list for alias targets. Resorting to a standard CNAME record introduces certificate issues and results in a 'host not found' error. Given these circumstances, what are the recommended steps or configurations to successfully map a custom domain to the Amazon Q web experience, ensuring secure and error-free redirection?"
I have already investigated the following article. https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/route-53-no-targets, but unfortunately this didn't help.

Hi THere
You can use CloudFront in front of your Amazon Q for Business URL.
- Create an SSL Certificate for your custom domain name in AWS Certificate Manager. Complete all validation steps
- Create a CloudFront Distribution and point it to the Amazon Q for Business hostname
- Point the CloudFront distribution to your ACM certificate, and add your custom domian name as an Alternate Domain Name
- Once your CloudFront distribution is deployed, create an Alias record in Route53 pointing to your CloudFront distribution
I just tested this and it works fine. Once you are logged into Q, the Amazon Q URL is displayed in the broser, but the redirection from your custom domain to your iDp and back to Q works ( I tested with Azure AD)
