    Q. Which DNS record types does Amazon Route 53 support?

    Amazon Route 53 currently supports the following DNS record types:

    A (address record)
    AAAA (IPv6 address record)
    CNAME (canonical name record)
    MX (mail exchange record)
    NAPTR (name authority pointer record)
    NS (name server record)
    PTR (pointer record)
    SOA (start of authority record)
    SPF (sender policy framework)
    SRV (service locator)
    TXT (text record)
    Additionally, Amazon Route 53 offers ‘Alias’ records (an Amazon Route 53-specific virtual record). Alias records are used to map resource record sets in your hosted zone to Amazon Elastic Load Balancing load balancers, Amazon CloudFront distributions, AWS Elastic Beanstalk environments, or Amazon S3 buckets that are configured as websites. Alias records work like a CNAME record in that you can map one DNS name (example.com) to another ‘target’ DNS name (elb1234.elb.amazonaws.com). They differ from a CNAME record in that they are not visible to resolvers. Resolvers only see the A record and the resulting IP address of the target record.
    We anticipate adding additional record types in the future.

    Q. Does Amazon Route 53 support wildcard entries? If so, what record types support them?

    Yes.
