Creating an Alias record set

ELB, CloudFront, and S3 respond to each request with one or more IP addresses for the environment and change their IP addresses frequently so you cannot directly add the IP address. The only option is to add them as a CNAME record, but CloudFront allows you to add ELB, CloudFront, or S3 as an endpoint while using an Alias record.
