Error: 'loadBalancerCanonicalHostedZoneId' was not provided when constructing Network Load Balancer MyLoadBalancerStack/my--test-nlb from attributes.

Question

Hi,
I need to create one ARecord with network load balancer but I am getting this issue --
Error: 'loadBalancerCanonicalHostedZoneId' was not provided when constructing Network Load Balancer MyLoadBalancerStack/my--test-nlb from attributes

I have used the following code --

...............
const ssmParameters = mySSMParameters();
const nlb = NetworkLoadBalancer.fromNetworkLoadBalancerAttributes(this, `my--test-nlb`, {
            loadBalancerArn: ssmParameters.nlbArn
        });

new ARecord(this, `my-api-ARecord`, {
            zone: hostedZone,
            recordName: recordName,
            target: RecordTarget.fromAlias(new LoadBalancerTarget(nlb))
  });

Please help with your valuable suggestions. Thank you!

Answer

Here's a more complete example of how to import a network load balancer:

```
const nlb = NetworkLoadBalancer.fromNetworkLoadBalancerAttributes(this, 'my-test-nlb', {
  loadBalancerArn: ssmParameters.nlbArn,
  loadBalancerCanonicalHostedZoneId: 'YourHostedZoneID'
});
```

Then you can proceed to create your ARecord as you have in your code.
