GeoProximityLocation

(Resource record sets only): A complex type that lets you specify where your resources are located. Only one of LocalZoneGroup, Coordinates, or AWSRegion is allowed per request at a time.

For more information about geoproximity routing, see Geoproximity routing in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.

Contents

AWSRegion

The AWS Region the resource you are directing DNS traffic to, is in.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.

Required: No

Bias

The bias increases or decreases the size of the geographic region from which Route 53 routes traffic to a resource.

To use Bias to change the size of the geographic region, specify the applicable value for the bias:

  • To expand the size of the geographic region from which Route 53 routes traffic to a resource, specify a positive integer from 1 to 99 for the bias. Route 53 shrinks the size of adjacent regions.

  • To shrink the size of the geographic region from which Route 53 routes traffic to a resource, specify a negative bias of -1 to -99. Route 53 expands the size of adjacent regions.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of -99. Maximum value of 99.

Required: No

Coordinates

Contains the longitude and latitude for a geographic region.

Type: Coordinates object

Required: No

LocalZoneGroup

Specifies an AWS Local Zone Group.

A local Zone Group is usually the Local Zone code without the ending character. For example, if the Local Zone is us-east-1-bue-1a the Local Zone Group is us-east-1-bue-1.

You can identify the Local Zones Group for a specific Local Zone by using the describe-availability-zones CLI command:

This command returns: "GroupName": "us-west-2-den-1", specifying that the Local Zone us-west-2-den-1a belongs to the Local Zone Group us-west-2-den-1.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.

Required: No
