In this recipe, we created a HostedZone for a domain registered with another registrar. We can now use this domain like the other domain that was registered with Route 53.

When using domains registered with other domain registrars in Route 53, you need to manually create hosted zones. As you saw in the recipe, AWS will automatically create the NS and SOA records for your domain name. These NS records will then need to be updated with the other domain registrar, usually through a configuration page.

As you can see from the recipe, most of the tasks do not happen in real time, and some of them even need user input or user actions. Therefore, in many real-world project use cases, these are done manually, either from the console or through an application, using APIs.
