+# aws_appmesh_route
+
+Provides an AWS App Mesh virtual node resource.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```hcl
+resource "aws_appmesh_virtual_node" "serviceb1" {
+  name                = "serviceBv1"
+  mesh_name           = "simpleapp"
+
+  spec {
+    backends = ["servicea.simpleapp.local"]
+
+    listener {
+      port_mapping {
+        port     = 8080
+        protocol = "http"
+      }
+    }
+
+    service_discovery {
+      dns {
+        service_name = "serviceb.simpleapp.local"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Argument Reference
+
+The following arguments are supported:
+
+* `name` - (Required) The name to use for the virtual node.
+* `mesh_name` - (Required) The name of the service mesh in which to create the virtual node.
+* `spec` - (Required) The virtual node specification to apply.
+
+The `spec` object supports the following:
+
+* `backends` - (Optional) The backends to which the virtual node is expected to send outbound traffic.
+* `listener` - (Optional) The listeners from which the virtual node is expected to receive inbound traffic.
+* `service_discovery`- (Optional) The service discovery information for the virtual node.
+
+The `listener` object supports the following:
+
+* `port_mapping` - (Required) The port mapping information for the listener.
+
+The `service_discovery` object supports the following:
+
+* `dns` - (Required) Specifies the DNS service name for the virtual node.
+
+The `dns` object supports the following:
+
+* `service_name` - (Required) The DNS service name for your virtual node.
+
+The `port_mapping` object supports the following:
+
+* `port` - (Required) The port used for the port mapping.
+* `protocol` - (Required) The protocol used for the port mapping. Valid values are `http` and `tcp`.
+
+## Attributes Reference
+
+In addition to all arguments above, the following attributes are exported:
+
+* `id` - The ID of the virtual node.
+* `arn` - The ARN of the virtual node.
+* `created_date` - The creation date of the virtual node.
+* `last_updated_date` - The last update date of the virtual node.
