Handling "www.domain.com" on AWS?

[nicholas...@gmail.com]

Hello, 

I have my ALB set to domain.com with the following rules:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1

kind: Ingress

metadata:

name: redacted

namespace: default

annotations:

kubernetes.io/ingress.class: alb

alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/scheme: internet-facing

alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/certificate-arn: "REDACTED"

alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/listen-ports: '[{"HTTP": 80}, {"HTTPS":443}]'

alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/actions.ssl-redirect: '{"Type": "redirect", "RedirectConfig": { "Protocol": "HTTPS", "Port": "443", "StatusCode": "HTTP_301"}}'

spec:

rules:

- host: domain.com

http:

paths:

- path: /*

backend:

serviceName: ssl-redirect

servicePort: use-annotation

- path: /*

backend:

serviceName: redacted

servicePort: 80

I'd like to either serve up www.domain.com or redirect from www.domain.com to domain.com. I am using a Route53 A record which points to be ALB.

My questions are as follows:

1. Do I need to specify a new "host" entry in my yaml above to handle this?

2. What is recommended in Route53 for this? A or CNAME record? Use an Alias pointing to my ALB or just "Value" and if so, what specifically?

Thanks in advance.
