r53util

AWS Route53 Utility

##Why? Why this when I can use the AWS cli? Laziness and because it's a self-contained binary. I needed this functionality when automating host zone creation and updating.

Current Functionality

• Export AWS Route53 hosted zones and DNS record sets. Each hosted zone and associated record sets are combined as a separate JSON file
• List AWS Route53 zone/zones and associated record sets
• Imports JSON files that have been created with r53util, no other format is supported.

##Build

• Clone the repo
• Install AWS GO SDK:

go get -u github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go

• Build: go build r53util.go

##Usage Make sure that AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environmental vars have been set

Export all hosted zones

./r53util  export-all

Export single hosted zone to file

./r53util export [domain] [output filename]
./r53util export example.com /tmp/mydata.json

List all hosted zones and records in human readable format to stdout

./r53util  list

List specified host zone in JSON format to stdout

./r53util  list example.com

Import JSON hosted zone file

Files must come from or follow the format outputted by r53util

./r53util import [input filename]
./r53util import example.com.json

#Known Issues

• Currently not validating or sanitizing inputs
• Does not error out if zone is not matched/found
• VPC ID association is not supported

#Todo

• List currently returns incorrect results when invalid hostzone name is supplied, should error out
• Check if host zone exists for import
• Better error handling
• More output types
