cli53 is a tool that provides import and export from BIND format and simple command line management of Route 53 domains.

Getting Started

Create a hosted zone:

 cli53 create example.com

Check what we've done:

 cli53 list

Import a BIND zone file:

 cli53 import example.com --file zonefile.txt

Replace with an imported zone, waiting for completion:

 cli53 import example.com --file zonefile.txt --replace --wait

Manually create some records:

 cli53 rrcreate example.com www A 192.168.0.1 --ttl 3600
 cli53 rrcreate example.com www A 192.168.0.2 --ttl 3600 --replace
cli53 rrcreate example.com '' MX '10 192.168.0.1' '20 192.168.0.2'


Export as a BIND zone file (useful for checking):

 cli53 export example.com

Create some weighted records:

 cli53 rrcreate example.com www A 192.168.0.1 --weight 10 --identifier server1
 cli53 rrcreate example.com www A 192.168.0.2 --weight 20 --identifier server2


Create an alias to ELB:

 cli53 rrcreate example.com www ALIAS ABCDEFABCDE dns-name.elb.amazonaws.com.


Further documentation is available, e.g.:

 cli53 --help
 cli53 rrcreate --help


Installation

  sudo pip install cli53

You can then run cli53 from your path:

 cli53

You need to set your Amazon credentials in the environment as AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or configure them in ~/.boto. For more information see: http://code.google.com/p/boto/wiki/BotoConfig

Caveats

As Amazon limits operations to a maximum of 100 changes, if you perform a large operation that changes over 100 resource records it will be split. An operation that involves deletes, followed by updates such as an import with --replace will very briefly leave the domain inconsistent. You have been warned!

Features:

  • create hosted zones
  • delete hosted zones
  • list hosted zones
  • import to BIND format
  • export to BIND format
  • create resource records
  • delete resource records
  • works with BIND format zone files we all know and love - no need to edit XML!
  • create AWS weighted records
  • create AWS Alias records to ELB

What is new in this release:

  • Check boto version

What is new in version 0.3.2:

  • Added functionality to rrlist, rrcreate, import and export so that they're able to work with Alias records that have an identifier and a latency based or weighted routing policy. (xbe)
  • Improve error message when boto fails to import

What is new in version 0.3.1:

  • Added support for Latency-based routing. For the moment to use this you'll need the boto develop branch: pip install https://github.com/boto/boto/tarball/develop

What is new in version 0.3.0:

  • Added support for AWS extensions: weighted records and aliased records.

Requirements:

  • Python
