# aws_globalaccelerator_accelerator{% #aws_globalaccelerator_accelerator %}

## `accelerator_arn`{% #accelerator_arn %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `AcceleratorArn`**Description**: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the accelerator.

## `account_id`{% #account_id %}

**Type**: `STRING`

## `created_time`{% #created_time %}

**Type**: `TIMESTAMP`**Provider name**: `CreatedTime`**Description**: The date and time that the accelerator was created.

## `dns_name`{% #dns_name %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `DnsName`**Description**: The Domain Name System (DNS) name that Global Accelerator creates that points to an accelerator's static IPv4 addresses. The naming convention for the DNS name for an accelerator is the following: A lowercase letter a, followed by a 16-bit random hex string, followed by .awsglobalaccelerator.com. For example: a1234567890abcdef.awsglobalaccelerator.com. If you have a dual-stack accelerator, you also have a second DNS name, `DualStackDnsName`, that points to both the A record and the AAAA record for all four static addresses for the accelerator: two IPv4 addresses and two IPv6 addresses. For more information about the default DNS name, see [Support for DNS addressing in Global Accelerator](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/global-accelerator/latest/dg/dns-addressing-custom-domains.dns-addressing.html) in the Global Accelerator Developer Guide.

## `dual_stack_dns_name`{% #dual_stack_dns_name %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `DualStackDnsName`**Description**: The Domain Name System (DNS) name that Global Accelerator creates that points to a dual-stack accelerator's four static IP addresses: two IPv4 addresses and two IPv6 addresses. The naming convention for the dual-stack DNS name is the following: A lowercase letter a, followed by a 16-bit random hex string, followed by .dualstack.awsglobalaccelerator.com. For example: a1234567890abcdef.dualstack.awsglobalaccelerator.com. Note: Global Accelerator also assigns a default DNS name, `DnsName`, to your accelerator that points just to the static IPv4 addresses. For more information, see [Support for DNS addressing in Global Accelerator](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/global-accelerator/latest/dg/about-accelerators.html#about-accelerators.dns-addressing) in the Global Accelerator Developer Guide.
