To list your resources
aws route53 list-hosted-zones
aws route53 list-resource-record-sets –hosted-zone-id BLABLALA –query “ResourceRecordSets[?Name == ‘example.domain.’]”
Use this output as the base for rebuilding the input Json file.
You can write a Jason File to input into this
aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --cli-input-json
--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values.
