Editing records - Amazon Route 53
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Editing records

The following procedure explains how to edit records using the Amazon Route 53 console. For information about how to edit records using the Route 53 API, see ChangeResourceRecordSets in the Amazon Route 53 API Reference.

Note

Your changes to records take time to propagate to the Route 53 DNS servers. Currently, the only way to verify that changes have propagated is to use the GetChange API action. Changes generally propagate to all Route 53 name servers within 60 seconds.

To edit records using the Route 53 console

  1. If you're not editing alias records, skip to step 2.

    If you're editing alias records that route traffic to an Elastic Load Balancing Classic Load Balancer, Application Load Balancer, or Network Load Balancer, and if you created your Route 53 hosted zone and your load balancer using different accounts, perform the procedure Getting the DNS name for an Elastic Load Balancing load balancer to get the DNS name for the load balancer.

    If you're editing alias records for any other Amazon resource, skip to step 2.

  3. In the navigation pane, choose Hosted zones.
