title: Use custom domain (apex) in AWS API Gateway
body: <p>I would like to use a custom domain for an AWS API Gateway endpoint, this would allow me to use <code>mydomain.com</code> instead of <code>https://xxxxxxxx.execute-api.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/v1</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I managed to add the custom domain in API Gateway but now I need to set the DNS of the domain (this domain is NOT managed by Route53).</p>
  
  <p>As far as I understand I should set an A record but I don't have any IP provided by the cloudfront distribution and it cannot be a CNAME because I want to bind a domain (apex) not a subdomain.</p>
  
  <p>How could I set the domain, without transfering DNS management to Route 53 ?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
