‫So now let's go ahead
‫and create our first records in Route 53.
‫So I'm going to go into my hosted zone,
‫and in there I'm going to create some simple records.
‫So let's have a look.
‫We're going to create a record by clicking on here.
‫And in here, I can just have a record name.
‫So we want it to be test.stephanetheteacher.com.
‫But you can enter anything you want here.
‫This is how you would create your domain names.
‫Now you have to specify the record type.
‫So you can see there's a lot of record types in here,
‫but for now we'll keep it simple.
‫We'll keep it as an A record.
‫And which is to route an IPv4 address
‫into a domain name, to an IPv4 address.
‫So the answer is going to be
‫value is 1, 1, dot, 2, 2, dot, 3, 3, dot, four four.
‫Which is just a value we want to have,
‫and this is not a domain, an IP we own right now,
‫but just to show you just a random value.
‫Later on, we'll be routing to a real institute instance.
‫Okay.
‫TTL is time to live.
‫We'll leave it as 300 seconds right now.
‫And the routing policy will
‫routing policy will have a look at it later on as well.
‫We'll leave everything as simple routing. Okay.
‫So let's go ahead and create this record.
‫And now my record has been successfully created.
‫So the idea is that if I go to test.stephanetheteacher.com,
‫it is going to ask my host zone.
‫What is the value of that? And those isn't going to say,
‫well, the value of it is 1, 1, dot, 2, 2, dot,
‫3, 3, dot, 4, 4.
‫So if you try it to do it with a web browser,
‫so if you take your browser and you open it
‫and you press enter,
‫and it's not going to show you many things,
‫because right now we don't have 11.22.33.44,
‫there's probably no server that exists with that IP as well.
‫And if I try to just access this URL,
‫it doesn't work. Okay.
‫So what we know is what is going on behind the scenes.
‫And so for this, we're going to type some command lines.
‫Now you can be using your command line
‫on your windows laptop, or your Mac,
‫but because I want everyone to follow the same way as me,
‫I'm going to show you how to do it using
‫the CloudTrail environments in AWS.
‫So let me open the management console,
‫and then I'm going to click here to open cloud shell and
‫cloud shell is going to allow me to do some commands using
‫a standard Linux command line interface. Okay.
‫But this is fine,
‫if you want to just do it with your own terminal on windows
‫or on Mac.
‫Okay. So my terminal is not ready.
‫And if you're on windows,
‫the NS lookup command is going to work. If you're on Mac,
‫the dig command is going to work as well.
‫But as you can see, these commands are not found
‫on my cloud shell.
‫So I need you to install them.
‫So I do sudo yum, and then install
‫minus Y and then bind
‫minus utils.
‫And it's going to install both VNS lookup
‫and the dig commands on my cloud shell.
‫So lets clear the screen.
‫And now let's try to do NS lookup,
‫test.stephanietheteacher.com.
‫And as you can see, I get an answer,
‫which is at test.stephanietheteacher.com,
‫is going to 11.22.33.44,
‫which is corresponding to what is happening right here,
‫which is cool.
‫And I presented like the dig command a little bit more
‫because I'm more familiar with it,
‫but if you type dig and then the URL that you have,
‫okay.
‫And press enter,
‫you're going to see that and have the wrong commands.
‫So stefantheteacher.com,
‫so let's clear this screen and then retype the comments.
‫Okay.
‫Well here, we're going to see
‫is that we have the answer section
‫and says, test.stephanetheteacher.com is an a record,
‫and this is the value of the record. So I like it better,
‫better, because it shows you the TTL, as we'll see later on,
‫and also shows you the a record,
‫the fact that isn't a record. Okay.
‫So we have created our first route 53 record,
‫and we have been able to query it using a terminal,
‫which is cool.
‫Obviously loading it from a webpage doesn't work right now,
‫but we'll see how we can do it later on
‫when we have a real server.
‫So I hope you liked this lecture
‫and I will see you in the next lecture.
