I am having trouble having an A record on an AWS R53 private hosted zone resolve to a private IP within the same VPC. Our VPC has DNS hostnames and DNS resolution enabled. I've tried using a CNAME record pointing to the private IP, but am unable to get it to resolve (via ping from the Windows server).
I've verified the hosted zone is associated with the same VPC that EC2 instance resides in. Can this be done without a VPC resolver endpoint?
