Cognito own domain name required A Record
I am trying to assign an own domain name to a user pool for Cognito and facing an issue that it seems that an A Record is required.
In my case i have registered wildcard on my internet domain and am trying to follow the steps as mentioned in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pools-add-custom-domain.html
Now i can create an A Record but have no clue where this A Record should point to. Any hints or tips are welcome :) It would be nice if this can be done without using CloudFront.
I tried CNAME's etc but as stated an A Record is required.

A web domain that you own. Its root must have a valid A record in DNS.
In simplified terms, if your domain is example.com
then the root -- example.com
-- needs to actually be configured for a web site before you continue. The specific value of the A record is not relevant to Cognito, since that would depend on how you choose to set up the site... but Cognito requires it to be there.
example.com
example.com
