Hosted
Creates a new public or private hosted zone. You create records in a public hosted zone to define how you want to route traffic on the internet for a domain, such as example.com, and its subdomains (apex.example.com, acme.example.com). You create records in a private hosted zone to define how you want to route traffic for a domain and its subdomains within one or more Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs). You can't convert a public hosted zone to a private hosted zone or vice versa. Instead, you must create a new hosted zone with the same name and create new resource record sets. For more information about charges for hosted zones, see Amazon Route 53 Pricing. Note the following:
You can't create a hosted zone for a top-level domain (TLD) such as .com.
If your domain is registered with a registrar other than Route 53, you must update the name servers with your registrar to make Route 53 the DNS service for the domain. For more information, see Migrating DNS Service for an Existing Domain to Amazon Route 53 in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide. When you submit a
`CreateHostedZone`request, the initial status of the hosted zone is`PENDING`. For public hosted zones, this means that the NS and SOA records are not yet available on all Route 53 DNS servers. When the NS and SOA records are available, the status of the zone changes to`INSYNC`. The`CreateHostedZone`request requires the caller to have an`ec2:DescribeVpcs`permission. When creating private hosted zones, the Amazon VPC must belong to the same partition where the hosted zone is created. A partition is a group of AWS-Regions. Each AWS-account is scoped to one partition. The following are the supported partitions:`aws`- AWS-Regions`aws-cn`- China Regions`aws-us-gov`- govcloud-us-region For more information, see Access Management in the General Reference.
Properties
A complex type that contains an optional comment. If you don't want to specify a comment, omit the `HostedZoneConfig` and `Comment` elements.
Adds, edits, or deletes tags for a health check or a hosted zone. For information about using tags for cost allocation, see Using Cost Allocation Tags in the User Guide.
The name of the domain. Specify a fully qualified domain name, for example, www.example.com. The trailing dot is optional; Amazon Route 53 assumes that the domain name is fully qualified. This means that Route 53 treats www.example.com (without a trailing dot) and www.example.com. (with a trailing dot) as identical. If you're creating a public hosted zone, this is the name you have registered with your DNS registrar. If your domain name is registered with a registrar other than Route 53, change the name servers for your domain to the set of `NameServers` that are returned by the `Fn::GetAtt` intrinsic function.
Returns the set of name servers for the specific hosted zone. For example: ns1.example.com . This attribute is not supported for private hosted zones.
Creates a configuration for DNS query logging. After you create a query logging configuration, Amazon Route 53 begins to publish log data to an Amazon CloudWatch Logs log group. DNS query logs contain information about the queries that Route 53 receives for a specified public hosted zone, such as the following:
Private hosted zones: A complex type that contains information about the VPCs that are associated with the specified hosted zone. For public hosted zones, omit `VPCs`, `VPCId`, and `VPCRegion`.
