title: Routing traffic to single instance Elasticbeanstalk environment using Route 53
body: <p>I have a python application installed under Elastic beanstalk environment and I want to setup ssl certificates for this single instance. Since I dont have registered domain to get an ssl what I am trying
  is creating an domain alias under Route53 so I can have a consistent domain name for ssl. But my route alias is not redirecting traffic to Elastic beanstalk environment url.</p>
  <p>My environment url is something like: <code>flaskapp-env.eba-xxxxxx.us-west-2.elasticbeanstalk.com</code></p>
  <p>I created a Hosted Zone Record named: <code>flaskapp.us-west-2.elasticbeanstalk.com</code>, then under this Hosted Zone, I created alias record set  as:  <code>dev.flaskapp.us-west-2.elasticbeanstalk.com</code> with alias target set to my elastic beanstalk environment.</p>
  <p>I was expecting that the alias <code>dev.flaskapp.us-west-2.elasticbeanstalk.com</code> should resolve to <code>flaskapp-env.eba-xxxxxx.us-west-2.elasticbeanstalk.com</code> but that is not the case. I am not sure if this is even possible, please enlighten me, thanks.</p>
