AliastTarget and Route53

[Bardia Afshin]

I'd like to create a Alias record via route53 to a Elastic Load Blanacer I have instantiated in my cloudformation script via troposphere.  I don't see any immediate examples on troposphere examples on doing this, can someone provide a working example to work off?

[Mark Peek]

As an example, the below troposphere code will generate the same json from the snippet " An Alias Resource Record Set for a CloudFront Distribution" located here:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/quickref-route53.html

------
from troposphere import Ref, Template
from troposphere.route53 import AliasTarget, RecordSetGroup, RecordSet

t = Template()

myDNS = t.add_resource(RecordSetGroup(
        "myDNS",
        HostedZoneName=Ref("myHostedZoneID"),
        RecordSets=[
            RecordSet(
                Name=Ref("myRecordSetDomainName"),
                Type="A",
                AliasTarget=AliasTarget(
                    "Z2FDTNDATAQYW2",
                    Ref("myCloudFrontDistributionDomainName")
                ),
            ),
        ],
    )
)

print t.to_json()
------

I actually had an internal version of the asg stack for stacker that created an ELB optionally (with SSL, optionally as well) and created a DNS alias for it.  I went ahead and finished cleaning that up and pushed it up into a branch.  The relevant code is here:

https://github.com/remind101/stacker/blob/optional_elb_for_asg/stacker/blueprints/asg.py#L148

It's a little complicated in that example, because I'm doing a lot in that code to make everything optional, but it should be pretty easy to follow.

Also, here's the logs from cfn-init from the instance

There's nothing in here referencing that the file cannot be created
