We have a few options when it comes to achieving a human-readable domain name for our API endpoint. Here are the first 3 that come to mind:

  1. CNAME - Points from UoB subdomain to our own domain
  2. NS - We host our own nameservers and have UoB delegate that subdomain
  3. Load Balancer - We have a static IP address pointing to an Elastic IP (reserved for us by AWS) that assigns to a NAT Gateway that links to a subnet where the lambda is hosted inside the VPC.
