What it does

Routing Traffic With Route53 And Cloudfront is an agent skill from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Configures Amazon Route 53 to route traffic to a CloudFront distribution using a custom domain. Use when setting up DNS alias records, alternate domain names (CNAMEs), ACM certificates for HTTPS, and IPv6 support for CloudFront.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/route53-cloudfront-routing.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud. The repository describes itself as: Official, AWS-supported MCP servers, skills, and plugins to help AI agents build on AWS. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up DNS alias records
  • Alternate domain names (CNAMEs)
  • ACM certificates for HTTPS
  • IPv6 support for CloudFront

Example prompts

  • “Use the routing-traffic-with-route53-and-cloudfront skill to configure Amazon Route 53 to route traffic to a CloudFront distribution using a custom…”
  • “/routing-traffic-with-route53-and-cloudfront”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2cb0fa1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Routing Traffic With Route53 And Cloudfront loads about 455 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 206 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~455
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Routing Traffic with Route 53 and CloudFront

Overview

Domain expertise for configuring Amazon Route 53 to route traffic to Amazon CloudFront distributions using custom domain names. Covers hosted zone management, alias A/AAAA records, alternate domain name (CNAME) configuration, and ACM certificate setup for HTTPS.

Configure Route 53 to route traffic to a CloudFront distribution

To set up a custom domain for a CloudFront distribution with Route 53 DNS, follow the procedure exactly. See Route 53 CloudFront routing procedure.

The procedure covers:

  • Verifying CloudFront distribution status and CNAME configuration
  • Requesting and validating ACM certificates (must be in us-east-1)
  • Creating or locating public hosted zones
  • Creating alias A and AAAA records pointing to CloudFront
  • Monitoring DNS propagation

Troubleshooting

Domain not in CloudFront CNAMEs

Add the domain as an alternate domain name in the CloudFront distribution configuration before creating Route 53 records.

SSL certificate issues

ACM certificates for CloudFront must be in us-east-1. Ensure the certificate is validated and associated with the distribution.

Private hosted zone

CloudFront only works with public hosted zones. Create a public hosted zone if only a private one exists.

DNS propagation delays

Changes typically propagate within 60 seconds but full global propagation can take up to 48 hours. Use nslookup or dig to verify.
