Ensure that you have installed the Cloud Network Automation license on the Grid Master. For information about licenses, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
Set up AWS user accounts and record the AWS credentials for these accounts. You may need the credentials when configuring Route 53 sync tasks. For information about how to set up an AWS account, see the AWS documentation. You can also configure AWS accounts and credentials through Grid Manager, as described in Configuring AWS Access for NIOS Cloud Admins.
Note that all sync tasks in the same sync group are performed for the same AWS user account.Ensure that the time on the NIOS or vNIOS appliance is synchronized with the actual time so that AWS Route 53 synchronization functions properly. You can configure NTP servers on the NIOS appliance and enable the NTP service to synchronize time on the appliance. For information about how to set up the NTP server, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
Configure DNS resolvers on the Grid member that is synchronizing Route 53 data so the AWS API can reach the Route 53 endpoints. For information about how to configure DNS resolvers, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.

When you configure a sync group, you can define a network view in which synchronized data resides. You cannot change the network view for the sync group once you save the configuration. If you want to change the network view for subsequent synchronization, create a new sync group. If you want to remove stale DNS data in a specific network view, you can search by the extensible attribute "DNS Source" = "AWS Route 53" in that network view and then remove the data accordingly. You can also use the CSV Import feature to export this data for removal. For more information about extensible attributes and CSV Import, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
You can also select a specific DNS view so that you can synchronize Route 53 zones and records from AWS to NIOS. This way, you can serve all those zones in a consolidated way from NIOS by querying a single Grid member. Depending on which network view you have selected, you may or may not be able to select a specific DNS view for consolidating your Route 53 zones and records. Ensure that you understand the various scenarios about how the appliance handles the consolidated data before you configure the Consolidate zone data into this DNS view option while adding or modifying a Route 53 sync group, as described in the section below.
