Configuring White-Label Name Servers With a Delegation Set

Configuring White-Label Name Servers with a Delegation Set

In this guide, we will configure white-label name servers using AWS Route 53 with a delegation set. The key services involved are AWS Route 53 for DNS management and delegation sets for creating reusable name servers.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Step 1: Create a Delegation Set

A delegation set is a group of four name servers that you can reuse across multiple hosted zones. First, we need to create a delegation set.

Step 2: Create a Hosted Zone

Next, create a hosted zone that will use the delegation set created in the previous step.

Step 3: Associate the Delegation Set with the Hosted Zone

Associate the delegation set with the hosted zone to ensure that the white-label name servers are used.

Summary

In this guide, we configured white-label name servers using AWS Route 53 with a delegation set. We created a delegation set, a hosted zone, and associated the delegation set with the hosted zone to achieve reusable name servers.

Conclusion

Configuring white-label name servers with a delegation set in AWS Route 53 allows for consistent and reusable DNS management across multiple hosted zones.

Full Code Example

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

// Step 1: Create a Delegation Set
const delegationSet = new aws.route53.DelegationSet("myDelegationSet", {});

// Step 2: Create a Hosted Zone
const hostedZone = new aws.route53.Zone("myHostedZone", {
    delegationSetId: delegationSet.id,
});

// Step 3: Associate the Delegation Set with the Hosted Zone
// This is done automatically by specifying the delegationSetId in the Zone creation

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