Ensure myelb exists:
  boto_elb.present:
    - name: myelb
    - availability_zones:
        - us-east-1a
    - listeners:
        - elb_port: 80
          instance_port: 8210
          elb_protocol: HTTP
        - elb_port: 443
          instance_port: 8210
          elb_protocol: HTTPS
          instance_protocol: HTTP
          certificate: 'arn:aws:iam::879879:server-certificate/mycert'
    - health_check:
        target: 'TCP:8210'
    - profile: myprofile

# Fetch the ELB information so that we can get the DNS info from it.
{% set elb = salt['boto_elb.get_elb_config']('myelb', profile='myprofile') %}

# Ensure we only modify DNS if we got info about the ELB
{% if elb %}
Ensure myrecord.example.com cname points at ELB:
  boto_route53.present:
    - name: myrecord.example.com.
    - zone: example.com.
    - type: CNAME
    - value: {{ elb.dns_name }}
{% endif %}

This of course doesn't work since jinja is rendered before the states. Sigh.
