dns

Terraform for creating AWS Route53 DNS managed zone and NS recordset

Oftentimes, you'll have the requirement to add and manage DNS sub-domains.

Assumes:

• your authoritative names servers and DNS record information is managed external to Amazon Web Services
• a managed zone (known as the "root zone") has already been set up in Amazon Web Services Route53

Copy sample configuration

cp terraform.tfvars.sample terraform.tfvars

Edit terraform.tfvars

Amend the values for

• base_hosted_zone_id
• domain_prefix

Create a zone

All we're doing here is creating a new managed zone and adding an NS record to the "root zone".

./create-zone.sh

Teardown zone

./destroy-zone.sh
