title: Route53 Support
---

Ufo can create a "pretty" route53 record and set it's value to the created ELB DNS name. This is done by configuring the `.ufo/settings/cfn/default.yml` file. Example:

```yaml
dns:
  name: "{stack_name}.mydomain.com."
  hosted_zone_name: mydomain.com. # dont forget the trailing period
```

The `{stack_name}` variable gets substituted with the CloudFormation stack name launched by ufo. So for example:

    ufo ship demo-web

Results in:

    "{stack_name}.mydomain.com." => "development-demo-web.mydomain.com."

**IMPORTANT**: The route53 host zone must already exist. You can create route53 hosted zone with the cli like so:

    aws route53 create-hosted-zone --name mydomain.com --caller-reference $(date +%s)
    aws route53 list-hosted-zones
