  ```yaml
  annotations:
  kubernetes.io/ingress.class: alb

  ```

+2. A snippet of the external-dns pod log indicating route53 update:
 
  ```
  time="2019-12-11T10:26:08Z" level=info msg="Desired change: CREATE my-app.test-dns.com A"
  time="2019-12-11T10:26:08Z" level=info msg="Desired change: CREATE my-app.test-dns.com TXT"
  time="2019-12-11T10:26:08Z" level=info msg="2 record(s) in zone my-app.test-dns.com. were successfully updated"
  ```
+
+3. External DNS configures `Simple` routing policy for the route53 records. You can configure `Weighted` policy by specifying the weight and the identifier via annotation. `Weighted` policy allows you to split the traffic between multiple load balancers. Here is an example to specify weight and identifier:
+ ```yaml
+ annotations:
+ # For creating weighted route53 records
+ external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: my-app.test-dns.com
+ external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/aws-weight: "100"
+ external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/set-identifier: "3"
+ ```
+ You can refer to the External DNS documentation for further details [[link](https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/external-dns/latest/tutorials/aws/#routing-policies)].
