No—this is a v1 package that reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01 and is no longer being updated. AWS CDK v1 users already depending on it may continue using it, but new projects should adopt AWS CDK v2 and its equivalent libraries instead. The package has no known vulnerabilities but receives no maintenance.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires AWS CDK v1 core and route53 modules; Python 3.7 or later.
- AWS CDK v1 reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01 and is no longer maintained.
- Low friction install with wheel distribution.

What it is and what it does
This package provides target adapters that connect AWS Route53 DNS records to various AWS services via AWS CDK v1. It translates AWS resources—such as API Gateway REST APIs, CloudFront distributions, load balancers, S3 buckets, and Cognito user pools—into Route53 alias record targets, allowing you to route traffic by DNS name to these services. The package wraps 16 AWS CDK service modules and handles service-specific DNS configuration details (for example, automatically adding dualstack prefixes for load balancers to support IPv6).
This is a v1 library that reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01. AWS CDK v1 is no longer being updated, and the project recommends migration to AWS CDK v2. If you are starting a new project or maintaining an existing one, you should use the v2 equivalent instead of adopting this package.
Use it for
- Route DNS traffic from a custom domain to an API Gateway REST API using Route53 alias records.
- Point a domain name to a CloudFront distribution for content delivery via Route53.
- Create Route53 alias records targeting application or network load balancers for traffic distribution.
- Host a static website on S3 and route traffic to it via Route53 using bucket website targets.
- Route traffic to a Cognito user pool domain for authentication flows via Route53 alias records.
