create_domain_entry

create_domain_entry(**kwargs)

Creates one of the following domain name system (DNS) records in a domain DNS zone: Address (A), canonical name (CNAME), mail exchanger (MX), name server (NS), start of authority (SOA), service locator (SRV), or text (TXT).

The create domain entry operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by domain name . For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.

Request Syntax

response = client.create_domain_entry(
    domainName='string',
    domainEntry={
        'id': 'string',
        'name': 'string',
        'target': 'string',
        'isAlias': True|False,
        'type': 'string',
        'options': {
            'string': 'string'
        }
    }
)

Parameters

• domainName (string) --

  [REQUIRED]

  The domain name (e.g., example.com ) for which you want to create the domain entry.

• domainEntry (dict) --

  [REQUIRED]

  An array of key-value pairs containing information about the domain entry request.

  • id (string) --

    The ID of the domain recordset entry.

  • name (string) --

    The name of the domain.

  • target (string) --

    The target IP address (e.g., 192.0.2.0 ), or AWS name server (e.g., ns-111.awsdns-22.com. ).

    For Lightsail load balancers, the value looks like ab1234c56789c6b86aba6fb203d443bc-123456789.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com . For Lightsail distributions, the value looks like exampled1182ne.cloudfront.net . For Lightsail container services, the value looks like container-service-1.example23scljs.us-west-2.cs.amazonlightsail.com . Be sure to also set isAlias to true when setting up an A record for a Lightsail load balancer, distribution, or container service.

  • isAlias (boolean) --

    When true , specifies whether the domain entry is an alias used by the Lightsail load balancer, Lightsail container service, Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution, or another Amazon Web Services resource. You can include an alias (A type) record in your request, which points to the DNS name of a load balancer, container service, CDN distribution, or other Amazon Web Services resource and routes traffic to that resource.

  • type (string) --

    The type of domain entry, such as address for IPv4 (A), address for IPv6 (AAAA), canonical name (CNAME), mail exchanger (MX), name server (NS), start of authority (SOA), service locator (SRV), or text (TXT).

    The following domain entry types can be used:

    • A
    • AAAA
    • CNAME
    • MX
    • NS
    • SOA
    • SRV
    • TXT
  • options (dict) --

    (Deprecated) The options for the domain entry.

    Note

    In releases prior to November 29, 2017, this parameter was not included in the API response. It is now deprecated.

    • (string) --
