How to point subdomain to aws ec2

Question

I have created sub domain of my site. Its on bigrocks. Now I have ec2 instance with elastic ip and I am running a site from there. I can access that site by IP/SITE_NAME from local browsers of current machines also. SO it runs on ec2 as well as on current machine. Now I want to link that site to my su bdomain. So how can I do that? I don't want to redirect sub domain. Browser should display the sub domain name it self and contents from aws ec2 instance Please help

Login to your cpanel. go to simple DNS Zone Editor

Enter your sub domain name and IP address of aws ec2 instance in A records and click on Add.

Now you can open your subdomain/site_name and you wil see the page which is hosted on aws ec2 instance.
