[SOLVED] Redirect a Subdirectory url to another instance in AWS without changing URL

Issue

I have the following set up under one account:

• Domain: example.com with DNS administrated by AWS Route 53
• Hosting App: A Webapp with an AWS ELB under www.example.com
• Hosting Blog: A Wordpress Blog in a separate AWS EC2 Instance, at the moment with the link blog.example.com

What I want to achieve: Example.com/blog -> Redirecting to the Blog in AWS EC2 Instance so that all the pages will be displayed like example.com/blog/entry1 and example.com/blog/entry2, etc.,

My problem: Route 53 only allows subdomains like blog.example.com.

Solution

Either setup path based routing in an Application Load Balancer (you would need to switch to an ALB if you are currently using a classic ELB), or place CloudFront in front of your domain and configure it with two sources.
