Lately, I was looking for small automation to deploy a simple web redirect for a domain name hosted on Amazon Route 53. I didn’t find anything relevant so I’ve decided to do it by myself. The goal was to have a subdomain redirect to a totaly different domain and path using minimal efforts and infrastructure.

Tradeoff

It does not support https, but you could use the http as an entrypoint, and then redirect traffic to https as needed.
