# Change


The information for each resource record set that you want to change.

## Contents


 ** Action **   <a name="Route53-Type-Change-Action"></a>
The action to perform:  
+  `CREATE`: Creates a resource record set that has the specified values.
+  `DELETE`: Deletes a existing resource record set.
**Important**  
To delete the resource record set that is associated with a traffic policy instance, use [DeleteTrafficPolicyInstance](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteTrafficPolicyInstance.html). Amazon Route 53 will delete the resource record set automatically. If you delete the resource record set by using `ChangeResourceRecordSets`, Route 53 doesn't automatically delete the traffic policy instance, and you'll continue to be charged for it even though it's no longer in use. 
+  `UPSERT`: If a resource record set doesn't already exist, Route 53 creates it. If a resource record set does exist, Route 53 updates it with the values in the request.
Type: String
