A record in Route 53 doesn't resolve

I added an A record in my Route 53 hosted zone pointing to the CloudFront. But for some reason, it doesn't work.

When I do dig mywebsite.com

I get

I just don't understand why my A record is empty here.

I added ns records to my domain registrator's panel.

Please edit your question to show a screenshot of Route53. You'll get better, faster help if you share your actual domain name.

When you host static website on S3, then:

  1. Make sure your bucket name is the same as your domain name
  2. Enable static website hosting option in bucket settings.

dhyk57ve7wact.cloudfront.net doesn't resolve. The A record looks fine, assuming you have it configured as an alias.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
