Values that you specify when you create or edit Amazon Route 53 records
When you create records using the Amazon Route 53 console, the values that you specify depend on the routing policy that you want to use and on whether you're creating alias records, which route traffic to AWS resources.
Alias records that route traffic to certain AWS resources for which you specify the target resource (for example, Elastic Load Balancing, CloudFront distribution, Amazon S3 bucket). You can also optionally associate health checks and configure target health evaluation. The following topics provide detailed information on the values required for each routing policy and record type, helping you configure your Route 53 records effectively.
