+description: |-
+  Get AWS Elastic Load Balancing Hosted Zone Id
+---
+
+# aws\_elb\_hosted\_zone\_id
+
+Use this data source to get the HostedZoneId of the AWS Elastic Load Balancing HostedZoneId
+in a given region for the purpose of using in an AWS Route53 Alias.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```
+data "aws_elb_hosted_zone_id" "main" { }
+
+resource "aws_route53_record" "www" {
+  zone_id = "${aws_route53_zone.primary.zone_id}"
+  name = "example.com"
+  type = "A"
+
+  alias {
+    name = "${aws_elb.main.dns_name}"
+    zone_id = "${data.aws_elb_hosted_zone_id.main.id}"
+    evaluate_target_health = true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Argument Reference
+
+* `region` - (Optional) Name of the region whose AWS ELB HostedZoneId is desired.
+  Defaults to the region from the AWS provider configuration.
+
+
+## Attributes Reference
+
+* `id` - The ID of the AWS ELB HostedZoneId in the selected region.
