vagrant-aws-dns

vagrant-aws-dns is a Vagrant plugin that allows you to set up route53 records for instances created using vagrant-aws provider.

• Add/update route53 records on machine up.
• Remove associated route53 records on machine halt/destroy.

• Downgrade bundler version due to some dependencies problems.

• Upgrade aws-sdk to 2.3.9.
• Upgrade bundler to 1.12.
• Upgrade rake to 11.1.

• [BUGFIX] hard-coded AWS region (#1) - Thanks hoopesj for the reporting.
• Upgrade aws-sdk to 2.2.14.

• Adding multiple HOSTED_ZONE_ID support.
• Upgrade aws-sdk to 2.2.9.

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws-dns

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "dummy"

  config.vm.provider :aws do |aws, override|
    aws.access_key_id = "YOUR KEY"
    aws.secret_access_key = "YOUR SECRET KEY"
    aws.session_token = "SESSION TOKEN"
    aws.keypair_name = "KEYPAIR NAME"

    aws.ami = "ami-7747d01e"

    override.ssh.username = "ubuntu"
    override.ssh.private_key_path = "PATH TO YOUR PRIVATE KEY"
    
    override.dns.record_sets = [%w(HOSTED_ZONE_ID_1 subdomain.domain1.com A 4.3.2.1), %w(HOSTED_ZONE_ID_2 subdomain.domain2.com A)]
  end

record_sets is an array of record sets that are also represented as arrays. Below are some examples:

• %w(HOSTED_ZONE_ID subdomain.domain.com A) - This will set a record of type subdomain.domain.com. A <public_ip>, the <public_ip> is auto detected.
• %w(HOSTED_ZONE_ID subdomain.domain.com A 4.3.2.1) - This will set a record of type subdomain.domain.com. A 4.3.2.1.
• %w(HOSTED_ZONE_ID subdomain.domain.com CNAME domain2.com) - This will set a record of type subdomain.domain1.com. CNAME domain2.com..

The ip may be omitted in which case the correct ip (private/public) will be chosen based on the type of the HOSTED_ZONE_ID. If the record type is CNAME and the value is not provided, the private/public AWS DNS name will be used instead.

• Why this plugin is not named vagrant-aws-route53 ?

Unfortunately, that name was already taken by another plugin of the same kind.

• So why develop a new one?

There are several reasons for this: use of new AWS SDK, support of multiple records, support of deleting records on machine halt or destroy.
