A hosted zone is an administratively managed collection of DNS records for a domain. In a platform control plane, it provides the account-level boundary where domain traffic is routed and delegated to subdomains managed elsewhere. section 7.1.3
Use hosted zones to:
- Register the primary domain in a production account and make Route 53 its authoritative name service when another registrar is used. section 7.1.3
- Delegate environment subdomains such as dev, QA, preview, and production to the accounts that manage them. section 7.1.3
Terraform-managed delegation
Look up the epetech.io zone in the production account, create preview.epetech.io in a nonproduction account, and create an NS delegation from the primary zone.
