title: Cognito own domain name required A Record
body: <p>I am trying to assign an own domain name to a user pool for Cognito and facing an issue that it seems that an A Record is required. </p>
  
  <p>In my case i have registered wildcard on my internet domain and am trying to follow the steps as mentioned in <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pools-add-custom-domain.html" rel="noreferrer">https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pools-add-custom-domain.html</a></p>
  
  <p>Now i can create an A Record but have no clue where this A Record should point to. Any hints or tips are welcome :) It would be nice if this can be done without using CloudFront.</p>
  
  <p>I tried CNAME's etc but as stated an A Record is required.</p>
