AWS Route 53

Manage DNS hosted zones and records.

List hosted zones

aws route53 list-hosted-zones --query 'HostedZones[].{Id:Id,Name:Name,Records:ResourceRecordSetCount,Private:Config.PrivateZone}' --output table

List records

aws route53 list-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id Z1234ABCDEF \
  --query 'ResourceRecordSets[].{Name:Name,Type:Type,TTL:TTL,Values:ResourceRecords[].Value}' | jq .

Create/update A record

aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id Z1234ABCDEF \
  --change-batch '{
    "Changes": [{
      "Action": "UPSERT",
      "ResourceRecordSet": {
        "Name": "app.example.com",
        "Type": "A",
        "TTL": 300,
        "ResourceRecords": [{"Value": "1.2.3.4"}]
      }
    }]
  }' | jq '{ChangeId: .ChangeInfo.Id, Status: .ChangeInfo.Status}'

Create CNAME record

aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id Z1234ABCDEF \
  --change-batch '{
    "Changes": [{
      "Action": "UPSERT",
      "ResourceRecordSet": {
        "Name": "www.example.com",
        "Type": "CNAME",
        "TTL": 300,
        "ResourceRecords": [{"Value": "app.example.com"}]
      }
    }]
  }' | jq '{ChangeId: .ChangeInfo.Id, Status: .ChangeInfo.Status}'

Check change status

aws route53 get-change --id /change/C1234567890 | jq '{Status: .ChangeInfo.Status}'

Notes

• DNS changes are eventual; may take 60s to propagate.
• Use UPSERT to create or update a record in one call.
• Hosted zone IDs start with Z or /hostedzone/Z.
• Always confirm before modifying DNS records.
