Creating an Amazon Route 53 Hosted Zone and
Adding Resource Record Sets
Amazon Route 53 is a Domain Name System (DNS) web service that provides secure and reliable routing
to your infrastructure that uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) products, such as Amazon Elastic Compute
Cloud (Amazon EC2), Elastic Load Balancing, or Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).You
can also use Amazon Route 53 to route users to your infrastructure outside of AWS.This topic describes
how to use the AWS SDK for .NET to create an Amazon Route 53 hosted zone and add a new resource
record set to that zone.
Note
This topic assumes that you are already familiar with how to use Amazon Route 53 and have
already installed the AWS SDK for .NET. For more information on Amazon Route 53, see the
Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide. For information on how to install the AWS SDK for .NET,
see Getting Started (p. 3).
The basic procedure is as follows.
To create a hosted zone and update its record sets
1. Create a hosted zone.
2. Create a change batch that contains one or more record sets, and instructions on what action to take
for each set.
3. Submit a change request to the hosted zone that contains the change batch.
4. Monitor the change to verify that it is complete.
The example is a simple console application that shows how to use the SDK for .NET to implement this
procedure for a basic record set.
To run this example
1. In the Visual Studio File menu, click New and then click Project.
2. Select the AWS Empty Project template and specify the project's name and location.
3. Specify the application's default credentials profile and AWS region, which are added to the project's
App.config file.This example assumes that the region is set to US East (Northern Virginia) and
the profile is set to default. For more information on profiles, see Configuring AWS Credentials (p. 9).
4. Open program.cs and replace the using declarations and the code in Main with the corresponding
code from the following example. If you are using your default credentials profile and region, you can
compile and run the application as-is. Otherwise, you must provide an appropriate profile and region,
as discussed in the notes that follow the example.
