Apex domain (example.com) will not work
What you are seeing
My apex domain (example.com) will not work.
#Why it happens
The only DNS guidance given is "point your domain to CloudFront with a CNAME record", and most DNS providers cannot create a CNAME at the zone root.
#What to do
Use a subdomain like docs.example.com, or use your DNS provider's ALIAS/ANAME record type if it has one.
