create-resolver-rule¶

Description¶

For DNS queries that originate in your VPCs, specifies which Resolver endpoint the queries pass through, one domain name that you want to forward to your network, and the IP addresses of the DNS resolvers in your network.

Synopsis¶

  create-resolver-rule
--creator-request-id <value>
[--name <value>]
--rule-type <value>
--domain-name <value>
[--target-ips <value>]
[--resolver-endpoint-id <value>]
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--creator-request-id (string)

A unique string that identifies the request and that allows failed requests to be retried without the risk of executing the operation twice. CreatorRequestId can be any unique string, for example, a date/time stamp.

--name (string)

A friendly name that lets you easily find a rule in the Resolver dashboard in the Route 53 console.

--rule-type (string)

When you want to forward DNS queries for specified domain name to resolvers on your network, specify FORWARD .

When you have a forwarding rule to forward DNS queries for a domain to your network and you want Resolver to process queries for a subdomain of that domain, specify SYSTEM .

For example, to forward DNS queries for example.com to resolvers on your network, you create a rule and specify FORWARD for RuleType . To then have Resolver process queries for apex.example.com, you create a rule and specify SYSTEM for RuleType .

Currently, only Resolver can create rules that have a value of RECURSIVE for RuleType .

Possible values:

FORWARD

SYSTEM

RECURSIVE

--domain-name (string)

DNS queries for this domain name are forwarded to the IP addresses that you specify in TargetIps . If a query matches multiple Resolver rules (example.com and www.example.com), outbound DNS queries are routed using the Resolver rule that contains the most specific domain name (www.example.com).

--target-ips (list)

The IPs that you want Resolver to forward DNS queries to. You can specify only IPv4 addresses. Separate IP addresses with a comma.

TargetIps is available only when the value of Rule type is FORWARD .

(structure)

In a CreateResolverRule request, an array of the IPs that you want to forward DNS queries to.

Ip -> (string)

One IP address that you want to forward DNS queries to. You can specify only IPv4 addresses.

Port -> (integer)

The port at Ip that you want to forward DNS queries to.

Shorthand Syntax:

Ip=string,Port=integer ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Ip": "string",
    "Port": integer
  }
  ...
]

--resolver-endpoint-id (string)

The ID of the outbound Resolver endpoint that you want to use to route DNS queries to the IP addresses that you specify in TargetIps .

--tags (list)

A list of the tag keys and values that you want to associate with the endpoint.

(structure)

One tag that you want to add to the specified resource. A tag consists of a Key (a name for the tag) and a Value .

Key -> (string)

The name for the tag. For example, if you want to associate Resolver resources with the account IDs of your customers for billing purposes, the value of Key might be account-id .

Value -> (string)

The value for the tag. For example, if Key is account-id , then Value might be the ID of the customer account that you’re creating the resource for.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those 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. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--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. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. 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.

Examples¶

To create a Resolver rule

The following create-resolver-rule example creates a Resolver forwarding rule. The rule uses the outbound endpoint rslvr-out-d5e5920e37example to forward DNS queries for example.com to the IP address 192.0.2.44.

aws route53resolver create-resolver-rule \
    --creator-request-id 2020-01-02-18:47 \
    --domain-name example.com \
    --name my-rule \
    --resolver-endpoint-id rslvr-out-d5e5920e37example \
    --rule-type FORWARD \
    --target-ips="Ip=192.0.2.44"

Output:

{
    "ResolverRule": {
        "Id": "rslvr-rr-42b60677c0example",
        "CreatorRequestId": "2020-01-02-18:47",
        "Arn": "arn:aws:route53resolver:us-west-2:111122223333:resolver-rule/rslvr-rr-42b60677c0example",
        "DomainName": "example.com.",
        "Status": "COMPLETE",
        "StatusMessage": "[Trace id: 1-5dc4b177-ff1d9d001a0f80005example] Successfully created Resolver Rule.",
        "RuleType": "FORWARD",
        "Name": "my-rule",
        "TargetIps": [
            {
                "Ip": "192.0.2.44",
                "Port": 53
            }
        ],
        "ResolverEndpointId": "rslvr-out-d5e5920e37example",
        "OwnerId": "111122223333",
        "ShareStatus": "NOT_SHARED"
    }
}

Alternatively, when you have complicated parameters with multiple values, you can choose to include the parameters in a JSON file and then specify the file when you call create-resolver-rule. Here’s the command, which includes a parameter that specifies the name and location of the JSON file.

aws route53resolver create-resolver-rule \
    --cli-input-json file://c:\temp\create-resolver-rule.json

Contents of create-resolver-rule.json:

{
    "CreatorRequestId": "2020-01-02-18:47",
    "Name": "my-rule",
    "RuleType": "FORWARD",
    "DomainName": "example.com",
    "TargetIps": [
        {
            "Ip": "192.0.2.44",
            "Port": 53
        }
    ],
    "ResolverEndpointId": "rslvr-out-d5e5920e37example",
    "Tags": [
        {
            "Key": "my-key",
            "Value": "my-value"
        }
    ]
}
