ResourceRecordSet (string, RRType)

The name of the domain you want to perform the action on. Enter a fully qualified domain name, for example, www.example.com. You can optionally include a trailing dot. If you omit the trailing dot, Amazon Route 53 still assumes that the domain name that you specify is fully qualified. This means that Amazon Route 53 treats www.example.com (without a trailing dot) and www.example.com. (with a trailing dot) as identical. For information about how to specify characters other than a-z, 0-9, and - (hyphen) and how to specify internationalized domain names, see DNS Domain Name Format in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide. You can use an asterisk (*) character in the name. DNS treats the * character either as a wildcard or as the * character (ASCII 42), depending on where it appears in the name. For more information, see Using an Asterisk (*) in the Names of Hosted Zones and Resource Record Sets in the Amazon Route 53 Developer GuideYou can't use the * wildcard for resource records sets that have a type of NS.

The DNS record type. For information about different record types and how data is encoded for them, see Supported DNS Resource Record Types in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide. Valid values for basic resource record sets: A | AAAA | CNAME | MX | NS | PTR | SOA | SPF | SRV | TXT Values for weighted, latency, geolocation, and failover resource record sets: A | AAAA | CNAME | MX | PTR | SPF | SRV | TXT. When creating a group of weighted, latency, geolocation, or failover resource record sets, specify the same value for all of the resource record sets in the group. SPF records were formerly used to verify the identity of the sender of email messages. However, we no longer recommend that you create resource record sets for which the value of Type is SPF. RFC 7208, Sender Policy Framework (SPF) for Authorizing Use of Domains in Email, Version 1, has been updated to say, "...[I]ts existence and mechanism defined in [RFC4408] have led to some interoperability issues. Accordingly, its use is no longer appropriate for SPF version 1; implementations are not to use it." In RFC 7208, see section 14.1, The SPF DNS Record Type. Values for alias resource record sets: CloudFront distributions:AELB load balancers:A | AAAAAmazon S3 buckets: AAnother resource record set in this hosted zone: Specify the type of the resource record set for which you're creating the alias. Specify any value except NS or SOA.
