# Amazon Route 53 Provider
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
You can specify the API credentials in the credentials json file:
|
|
|
|
{% highlight json %}
|
|
{
|
|
"r53":{
|
|
"KeyId": "your-aws-key",
|
|
"SecretKey": "your-aws-secret-key"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
|
|
You can also use environment variables, but this is discouraged, unless your environment provides them already.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXX
|
|
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YYYYYYYYY
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can find some other ways to authenticate to Route53 in the [go sdk configuration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/v1/developer-guide/configuring-sdk.html).
|
|
|
|
## Metadata
|
|
This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to route 53.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
Example Javascript:
|
|
|
|
{% highlight js %}
|
|
var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar("none","NONE");
|
|
var R53 = NewDnsProvider("r53", "ROUTE53");
|
|
|
|
D("example.tld", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(R53),
|
|
A("test","1.2.3.4")
|
|
);
|
|
{%endhighlight%}
|
|
|
|
## Activation
|
|
DNSControl depends on a standard [AWS access key](https://aws.amazon.com/developers/access-keys/) with permission to list, create and update hosted zones.
|
|
|
|
## New domains
|
|
If a domain does not exist in your Route53 account, DNSControl will *not* automatically add it with the `create-domains` command. You can do that either manually via the control panel, or via the command `dnscontrol create-domains` command.
|
|
|
|
## Caveats
|
|
This code may not function properly if a domain has R53 as a Registrar
|
|
but not as a DnsProvider. The situation is described in
|
|
[PR#155](https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol/pull/155).
|
|
|
|
In this situation you will see a message like:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
----- Registrar: r53
|
|
Error getting corrections: AccessDeniedException: User: arn:aws:iam::868399730840:user/dnscontrol is not authorized to perform: route53domains:GetDomainDetail
|
|
status code: 400, request id: 48b534a1-7902-11e7-afa6-a3fffd2ce139
|
|
Done. 1 corrections.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If this happens to you, we'd appreciate it if you could help us fix the code. In the meanwhile, you can give the account additional IAM permissions so that it can do DNS-related actions, or simply use `NewRegistrar(..., 'NONE')` for now.
