Route53 zone-transfers to secondary nameservers?

Question

We're migrating to Route53 as our primary public nameservers. We'd like to utilize another company for secondary NS. I'm trying to check where to configure Route53 to allow zone-transfers (AFXR) to the secondary NS, but am not seeing it. Any help?

Thanks in advance!

Answer

Unfortunately, AWS currently does not support secondary DNS services and zone transfers. There is already a request for Route 53 to support zone transfer. There is no ETA as AWS does not publicize roadmap items however as soon as it gets released, it should be publicly announced in either one of the following links:

Answer

As WernerW mentioned, Route 53 does not support zone transfers.

If you are concerned about availability, Route 53 includes [Shuffle Sharing](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/shuffle-sharding-massive-and-magical-fault-isolation/) and [Anycast](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/a-case-study-in-global-fault-isolation/) to ensure high availability, and comes with  [100% SLA](https://aws.amazon.com/route53/sla/).

If you want to keep a copy of your DNS records, you can use AWS CLI (or third party command line tool) to export them.  The AWS CLI syntax is as follows

```
aws route53 list-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id "/hostedzone/"
```
