Disabling records within Route53
Is there a way to disable a record within a route 53 instead of deleting the record? An example would be that a user is sending a lot of requests that are flowing through route 53, but instead of just completely deleting their record and stopping any flow of data permanently, disable their record so that their flow is paused and investigation is done to confirm if deletion should happen.

Hello,
There is currently no such feature to temporarily disable a DNS record in Route53. Deleting a record is the only way you can stop a route. However, I will forward this as a feature request for the service. Unfortunately this will be on best effort basis, and we will not be able to provide any ETA for this. You can keep a tab on our What's new page to be aware of new features being incorporated in AWS - https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2022/
Thanks.
For most purposes you might prepend the record name with _delete_ or _disable_ which will effectively prevent successful queries.
for example www becomes _disable_www
Beware this might not work as intended with all types of records - like PTR records. Should work fine for A, CNAME, NS, MX etc.
