#Route53

I realized that I was spending 50¢ every month for 7 Route53 hosted zones at AWS, when I really don't need to do that for some of them. I'm using name.com as my registrar, and they'll do basic #DNS service for free as a part of that.

I didn't want to spend an hour clicking and copy/pasting DNS records, so like any good geek I spent about 6 hours writing a script to do it for me. 😃

It's a bit of a specialized need. If you're not hosted in #Route53 and not looking to go to name.com, this is not useful to you at all, except as a curiosity of how badly I write python.

But if (a) you're cheap like me, and (b) you've made the same choices as me, this script will save you some time.

The punchline on my #DNS reconfiguration is that nothing went wrong because I didn’t actually make any changes that took effect. I do a weird config to have reliable DNS:
I have a hidden master that uses dnsmadeeasy as the public servers. They answer authoritatively but they’re getting records from my #powerdns server.

Well, one problem I have is using CDNs at the apex zone. I use #AWS #cloudfront as my #CDN. This is fine when you use #Route53 as your DNS. They can put alias records in at the apex. But it doesn’t work with dnsmadeeasy secondary zones. The way I run them.

Name dot com is my registrar. They can do alias records. So I think they also do DNS for free. I’m going to migrate my Route53 zones to the free DNS instead of paying $0.50 per zone per month. All this effort will save me about $6.50/month.
