I would like to create a subdomain on Route 53 with DNS provided by GoDaddy and control all of it's subdomains from Route 53. E.g. Assume that I have purchased example.com on GoDaddy and created different records to point them to respective IP addresses where my services are hosted.

Without disturbing this setup, I want to add service.example.com on AWS Route 53 and control all of it's subdomains e.g. test.service.example.com, int.service.example.com, rel.service.example.com from AWS itself without making any changes to Records (except for service.example.com) on GoDaddy.

I was referring to few video tutorials for doing the same but It's not explaining completely how to make this happen.

Please note, I don't want to transfer my parent domain to AWS Route 53. I just want to have my subdomain and any subdomains unders this on AWS Route 53.

I would really appreciate any pointers to get me moving in the right direction. :-)

Assuming you have already configured an AWS Route 53 hosted zone for service.example.com, you'll need to create an NS record for service.example.com at GoDaddy, and populate that record with the Route 53 hosted zone nameserver names. You'll find these in the value for the NS record for the Route 53 hosted zone. For example:

ns-2027.awsdns-61.co.uk.
ns-1042.awsdns-02.org.
ns-819.awsdns-38.net.
ns-211.awsdns-26.com.

You can then create relevant records in Route 53 as required.

As ever with DNS, things may take time to propagate.

    Thanks!!! This works like a charm for mapping against a single entry e.g. ns-2027.awsdns-61.co.uk :-) However, I'm not able to add multiple entries against this NS record on Go Daddy. – kk. May 09 '19 at 13:23

    To answer my previous comments, for adding multiple values for a nameserver record on GoDaddy, you need to make multiple entries. Please refer this article https://help.sendinblue.com/hc/en-us/articles/209564665-Example-step-1-for-GoDaddy-Delegation-of-your-subdomain – kk. May 09 '19 at 13:40
