Route53, AWS-CLI : Add Alias A name with aws-cli

Question

I have a requirement, where Kubernetes service is generating an ELB for us with DNS name. I am adding that as an Alias for A, which is giving faster DNS propagation as compared to CNAME. I want to automated adding the entry via shell-script, but it's not working out, I get error as mentioned below. Please note, all e

Error log:

An error occurred (InvalidChangeBatch) when calling the ChangeResourceRecordSets operation: [Tried to create an alias that targets dualstack.AXXXXXXXXX-46346364.eu-central-1.elb.amazonaws.com., type A in zone Z0jshgdjhdg, but the alias target name does not lie within the target zone, Tried to create an alias that targets dualstack.asdgdfhgdfh-56767687.eu-central-1.elb.amazonaws.com., type A in zone Z0XXXXX, but that target was not found]

Command used:

aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id /hostedzone/Z0XXXXXXX --change-batch '{"Changes": [ { "Action": "UPSERT", "ResourceRecordSet": { "Name": "test.dev.domain.com", "Type": "A", "AliasTarget":{ "HostedZoneId": "Z0XXXXX","DNSName": "aesdgdfg-46456.eu-central-1.elb.amazonaws.com","EvaluateTargetHealth": false} } } ]}'

What am I doing wrong?

Hosted Zone as asked:

Answer 1

Based on the comments.

The issue was caused by using wrong HostedZoneId in AliasTarget. The correct one is the HostedZoneId associated with your ALB. It can be found in the EC2 console, in Description tab of your ALB under Hosted zone option.

The command should use two HostedZoneIds:

aws route53 change-resource-record-sets \
    --hosted-zone-id /hostedzone/<zone-id-from-route53>\
    --change-batch \
     '{"Changes": [ { "Action": "UPSERT", "ResourceRecordSet": { "Name": "test.dev.domain.com", "Type": "A", "AliasTarget":{ "HostedZoneId": "<zone-id-of-ALB>","DNSName": "aesdgdfg-46456.eu-central-1.elb.amazonaws.com","EvaluateTargetHealth": false} } } ]}'
