Hi Community out there,  
I am newbie to Terraform, trying to create dns record but struggling how to set IAM AccountID, IAM user name and password.

Basically created three files name as : hostedzone.tf, route53-record.tf, vars.tf  
hostedzone.tf

```auto
resource "aws_route53_zone" "dns-record" {
  name = var.dns-record
  comment = "${var.dns-record} public zone"
  provider = aws
}

```

route53-record.tf

```auto
resource "aws_route53_record" "dns-record" {
  zone_id = 
  name = ""
  type = "A"
  ttl = "300"
  records = [""]
}

```

vars.tf

```auto
variable "AWS_REGION" {
  default = ""
}

variable "dns-record" {
  default = ""
}

```

Thanks !
