How do I build an AWS Route53 hosted zone with Pulumi?

To create an AWS Route53 hosted zone using Pulumi, you can use the aws.route53.Zone resource. This resource allows you to manage DNS records for your domain names and configure routing policies for your services.

Below is a complete Pulumi program in TypeScript that demonstrates how to create a Route53 hosted zone:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Create a new Route53 Hosted Zone
const hostedZone = new aws.route53.Zone("myHostedZone", {
    name: "example.com", // Replace with your domain name
    comment: "Managed by Pulumi",
});

// Export the name servers for the hosted zone
export const nameServers = hostedZone.nameServers;

Explanation

1. Import Pulumi and AWS modules: We start by importing the necessary Pulumi and AWS modules.
2. Create a Route53 Hosted Zone: We create a new Route53 hosted zone using the aws.route53.Zone resource. The name property specifies the domain name for the hosted zone. The comment property is optional and can be used to add a description.
3. Export the Name Servers: Finally, we export the name servers associated with the hosted zone. These name servers need to be configured with your domain registrar to make the hosted zone active.

Summary

We created an AWS Route53 hosted zone using Pulumi. The program defines a hosted zone for the specified domain name and exports the name servers that need to be configured with the domain registrar. This setup allows you to manage DNS records and routing policies for your domain using Pulumi.
