I'm in the process of moving my domain from Netlify to AWS, and it seems to have gone smoothly so far. However, the domain still points to my Netlify site, even though I have it set up on AWS. The name servers currently show Netlify's settings:
* dns1.p07.nsone.net
* dns2.p07.nsone.net
* dns3.p07.nsone.net
* dns4.p07.nsone.net
But the AWS name servers look like this, which I didn't set manually since I bought the domain through Route 53:
* ns-943.awsdns-53.net
* ns-486.awsdns-60.com
* ns-2043.awsdns-63.co.uk
* ns-1167.awsdns-17.org
Right now, I'm still seeing the Netlify website when I visit my domain (I haven't turned off the Netlify app yet). If I create a website on S3, can I use that domain normally? Or do I need to update the name servers?

You definitely need to switch to the AWS name servers for your domain to point correctly. Once you turn off the Netlify app, you'll lose that domain's hosting, so make sure to get those nameservers updated in your Route 53 settings. Just point your A record to where you want it on AWS, and it should start working!
If I need to change it, could I just copy the name servers being used in my existing AWS-managed domain?
