How to create SRV record in Route53 with Terraform

[hh2001]

Dear support,

I am trying to create SRV record in our AWS account with Terraform but I did not find any guide on it. I found in the DNS Provider branch and it is saying it is not available right now.

Can you let me know if we can do it or not?

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Harvey

Hi, @hh2001! 👋 I believe you are looking for the aws_route53_record resource:

resource "aws_route53_record" "example" {
  name    = "_example.${aws_route53_zone.example.name}"
  records = ["example"]
  ttl     = "300"
  type    = "SRV"
  zone_id = "${aws_route53_zone.example.zone_id}"
}

Hopefully this leads you on the right track. 😄

If you have any further questions, I would suggest reaching out on some of the other Terraform community forums where there are many more people watching and able to help. This GitHub issue tracker is only watched by Terraform code maintainers and generally for bug reports or feature requests with the Terraform AWS provider. 👍

The documentation is lacking here. SRV records have special fields that other records do not have. It is not clear at all how to set them.

Fields srv records use: priority, weight, port, target, service, proto, name.

Here is how the value needs to be set:

priority weight port target.

And name:
_service._proto.name.

Maybe this can be added as an example to the docs.
