Route 53

Route53 is Amazon’s Domain Name Service. AWS Syncr let’s you use this service to define CNAME records.

---

dns:
  my-record:
    zone: my-zone.com.au
    record_type: CNAME
    record_target: somewhere.else.com.au

This definition will create a CNAME for my-record.my-zone.com.au that points at somewhere.else.com.au.

Available Keys

zone

The DNS zone the record goes under

record_type

Currently CNAME is the only supported record type. Please create a github issue if you want it to support other record types.

record_target

The address the CNAME points at

ApiGateway

There is integration with apigateway in that you can define the record_target as apigateway.<gateway_name>.domain_names.<domain_name> and aws_syncr will determine the cloudfront url for that domain.

For example:

---

vars:
  zone: company.prod.com.au
  certifcate:
    [..]

apigateway:
  monitors:
    stages:
      - prod

    domain_names:
      monitoring:
        zone: "{vars.zone}"
        stage: prod
        certificate: "{vars.certificate}"

    resources:
      [..]

dns:
  monitoring:
    zone: "{vars.zone}"
    record_type: CNAME
    record_target: "{apigateway.monitors.domain_names.monitoring}"

This will create an apigateway with a registered custom domain name, and then register the domain name itself with route53 to the value it needs to be.
