Hi All,

Is it possible to create a new hosted zone through Ansible in the route53 module?

TASK: [ec2-route53 | create A entry] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
failed: [54.186.230.167] =\> {“failed”: true, “item”: “”}  
msg: Zone xxx. does not exist in Route53

I’d like to automate that part as well through ansible, if possible.

Thanks, Mike.
