This Terraform module works together with AWS Route53, S3, ACM and CloudFront to create permanent redirect of a domain to a target URL.
Both www and apex A records are created and pointed to a CloudFront distribution. The distribution accepts HTTP and HTTPS connections (free autorenewing ACM certificate is used for HTTPS). The origin for CloudFront distribution is a S3 hosted website with redirect-all rule. This solution is cheap and maintenance free.
Requirements: DNS Zone in Route53
