Anyone here experienced with Route53?

I have a small issue I'm trying to think through on how to achieve with minimum effort and maintenance, essentially set once and walk away and never care about it again solution.

Basically what I have is:

sub.domain.com

and I need to get it to redirect over to

otherdomain.com/folderToGetTo/

Using a 301 would be ideal but how for the life of me do I go about serving a 301 redirect over a dns entry - short answer is I can't unless I'm missing something!

Both domains are owned by the same company so no issue in hijacking a subdomain... well besides internal politics but that's just another day 😏

First thoughts include setting up a S3 bucket with hosting and forcing the dns to that and then, redirect out of the bucket... seems overkill but will work.

Hoping to find a smaller solution that I don't have to justify a S3 bucket being used for a single file - audits suck alright🤷‍♂️

Oh and setting up a redirect at the originating domain will take longer then it's worth to setup and get approvals for so not worth the effort internally.

Yes I will accept "fuck off @C0D4" as an answer.
