How to import route 53 hosted zone to another account?

Hello,

You can login to production account and run the below command to get list of records in the hosted zone in a file.

aws route53 list-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id hosted-zone-id > path-to-output-file For hosted-zone-id, specify the ID of the hosted zone that you got in step 2 of this procedure. For path-to-output-file, specify the directory path and file name that you want to save the output in.

Then, edit the format of file as per step 4 in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/hosted-zones-migrating.html#hosted-zones-migrating-edit-records.

Now, you can run below command in secondary account to add the records here. aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id id-of-new-hosted-zone --change-batch file://path-to-file-that-contains-records

For detailed info: refer to step 3-6 in file: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/hosted-zones-migrating.html#hosted-zones-migrating-create-records
