Route 53 records

0

Hello,

I am trying to understand how records fields from my existing provider map into Route 53 records.

For example, I see the following in my existing provider:

NameTypeValue
@A208.97.x.x
ftpA208.97.x.x
wwwA208.97.x.x
@MX1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.

In Route 53 Quick Create Record, do I just copy Name into Record Name, select Record type from the dropdown, and enter Value into Value field?

For example, in Quick Create Record, do I do the following?

Record name: @ (which makes it @.example.com) Record type: A Value: 208.97.x.x

Record name: @ (which makes it @.example.com) Record type: MX Value: 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.

@ is a shorthand character in DNS zone files that references the root, or apex, of the zone. In your case, you would replace all instances of @ with the actual name of the zone, example.com., so leave the Record Name field blank in the Route 53 Management Console as you will just be creating apex records. Using @ in Route 53 outside of importing a zone file will literally create records for that label which is not the desired functionality.

Thank you! Just to clarify, if it is an @, I will leave the Record Name field blank. All others (ftp, mysql, ssh, www, mail), I will fill them in the Record Name field, is this accurate?

Also, do I keep the period at the end of values such as (1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.), (ghs.googlehosted.com.) when transferring them as values into Route 53 Record Name Value?
