create-reusable-delegation-set¶
Description¶
Creates a delegation set (a group of four name servers) that can be reused by multiple hosted zones that were created by the same AWS account.
You can also create a reusable delegation set that uses the four name servers that are associated with an existing hosted zone. Specify the hosted zone ID in the CreateReusableDelegationSet request.
Note
You can't associate a reusable delegation set with a private hosted zone.
For information about using a reusable delegation set to configure white label name servers, see Configuring White Label Name Servers .
The process for migrating existing hosted zones to use a reusable delegation set is comparable to the process for configuring white label name servers. You need to perform the following steps:
- Create a reusable delegation set.
- Recreate hosted zones, and reduce the TTL to 60 seconds or less.
- Recreate resource record sets in the new hosted zones.
- Change the registrar's name servers to use the name servers for the new hosted zones.
- Monitor traffic for the website or application.
- Change TTLs back to their original values.
If you want to migrate existing hosted zones to use a reusable delegation set, the existing hosted zones can't use any of the name servers that are assigned to the reusable delegation set. If one or more hosted zones do use one or more name servers that are assigned to the reusable delegation set, you can do one of the following:
- For small numbers of hosted zones—up to a few hundred—it's relatively easy to create reusable delegation sets until you get one that has four name servers that don't overlap with any of the name servers in your hosted zones.
- For larger numbers of hosted zones, the easiest solution is to use more than one reusable delegation set.
- For larger numbers of hosted zones, you can also migrate hosted zones that have overlapping name servers to hosted zones that don't have overlapping name servers, then migrate the hosted zones again to use the reusable delegation set.

Synopsis¶
create-reusable-delegation-set
--caller-reference <value>
[--hosted-zone-id <value>]
[--cli-input-json <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
Options¶
--caller-reference (string)
A unique string that identifies the request, and that allows you to retry failed CreateReusableDelegationSet requests without the risk of executing the operation twice. You must use a unique CallerReference string every time you submit a CreateReusableDelegationSet request. CallerReference can be any unique string, for example a date/time stamp.
--hosted-zone-id (string)
If you want to mark the delegation set for an existing hosted zone as reusable, the ID for that hosted zone.
--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.
