Route53 module does not support adding an A record as an alias

In terraform it looks like:
resource "aws_route53_record" "www" {
zone_id = aws_route53_zone.primary.zone_id
name = "example.com"
type = "A"

alias {
name = aws_elb.main.dns_name
zone_id = aws_elb.main.zone_id
evaluate_target_health = true
}

@demimike thanks for the feedback. Can you also provide some context around why you'd like this functionality, perhaps what scenario is leading you to want to take this approach?

Hi @demimike could you please share the exact error you're getting? Which version of the service catalog are you using? We'd also love to see the exact inputs you're configuring and how.

Thanks

It doesn't generate errors, I just can't configure A records as an alias. We are currently using ver 99.2

Hey @demimike we are currently missing that feature in the Route53 Service Catalog service but have filed an issue to see if we can get it added sooner rather than later. I obviously can't commit to a specific date, but I can commit to discussing this with our team and getting a ball park answer.
