What is the simplest way to assign DNS name to EC2 instance using Route 53 service?

Question

I have got a domain registered with GoDaddy and an EC2 instance with public elastic IP and I\'m trying to use Amazon \"Route 53\" service to map the DNS name to my instance.

Currently there's no "Route 53" tab on AWS management console. But they've said that they'd be adding one in the future.

So right now, the easiest way is to use third-party tools. Here's a list of tools that you can use:

• http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/Amazon-Route-53/
• http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2011/02/new-location-for-route-53-and-cloudfront-route-53-tool-roundup.html
• https://github.com/rawswift/aws-sdk-for-php

I've also built a web-based interface for AWS Route 53. Has the basic features like creating/deleting hosted zones, adding/deleting A, AAAA, CNAME, PTR, SPF, SRV, TXT records and also supports multiple MX record value (e.g. Google MX records).
