**To create, update, or delete a resource record set**

The following ``change-resource-record-sets`` command creates a resource record set using the ``hosted-zone-id`` ``Z1R8UBAEXAMPLE`` and the JSON-formatted configuration in the file ``C:\awscli\route53\change-resource-record-sets.json``::

  aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id Z1R8UBAEXAMPLE --change-batch file://C:\awscli\route53\change-resource-record-sets.json

For more information, see `POST ChangeResourceRecordSets`_ in the *Amazon Route 53 API Reference*.

.. _`POST ChangeResourceRecordSets`: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/API_ChangeResourceRecordSets.html


The configuration in the JSON file depends on the kind of resource record set you want to create:

- Basic

- Weighted

- Alias

- Weighted Alias

- Latency

- Latency Alias

- Failover

- Failover Alias
