DNS changes after migration – how to handle it?

    never touched WordPress before but been tasked to migrate a site from a hosted solution into AWS. Migration has been completed but now I am wondering when/if I should change the site URL in the wp-config.php.

    The following two lines are in the wp-config.php file:

    
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/' );
define( 'WP_HOME', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/' );

    My question is if I change the DNS address to point to the new address in AWS – will the site URL and home URL in WordPress change dynamically? or do I have to manually input the URL in the wp-config file?

    Thanks

    Don’t change wp-config.php. Change DNS and point it to the new server.
    It should work.
    If you need to replace anything later(likely not), you can export only the database and fill in find/replace pairs.
