How to do it...

We can use the Route53 module for creating, retrieving, and deleting a Route53 record. In the following task, we have assumed that the DNS zone example.com belongs to us and has been registered with the AWS Route53 service:

1. To create a Route53 record, do the following:

- name: Create Route53 record 
  route53: 
      state: present 
      zone: example.com 
      record: app.example.com 
      type: A 
      ttl: 7200 
      value: 
          - 1.1.1.1 
          - 2.2.2.2 
          - 3.3.3.3

1. To get an existing Route53 record, do the following:

- name: Get existing Route53 record 
  route53: 
    state: get 
    zone: example.com 
    record: dns.example.com 
    type: A 
    register: record

1. To delete a Route53 record, do the following:

- name: Delete existing Route53 record 
  route53: 
    state: absent 
    zone: example.com 
    record: "{{ record.set.record }}" 
    ttl: "{{ record.set.ttl }}" 
    type: "{{ record.set.type }}" 
    value: "{{ record.set.value }}"
