Create Hosted Zone in Route53

[Carlos V]

Is it possible to add a domain to route53 from Ansible?

Looks like it's only possible to add/modify records once you have the zone configured but maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Playbook:

- name: Setup for DNS in AWS

  hosts: 127.0.0.1

  gather_facts: false

  connection: local

  tasks:

    - route53:

        command: create

        zone: "example.com"

        record: "new.example.com"

        type: A

        value: "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

        overwrite: true

Output:

# ansible-playbook -i local 53.yml -vvvv

Yeah, currently the route53 module does not create zones. They have
to already be created. The boto module (which we're using to interact
with route53 and most other amazon services) appears to support
creating zones so so we'd probably take a pull request to implement
that.
