When you register a domain aws will create a hostedzone for you, so if you’re expecting to have pulumi create the hostedzone, you end up with two most likely conflicting dns records.

Would be nice, to wrap the register domain functionality so that pulumi can register the domain if it does not exist. I guess you can always reference the existing hostedzone resource but meh, that route is unappealing to me.

I also solve this problem with a custom resource in another project that uses aws cdk

Thanks for the insight, always appreciated
