roadtrip 0.2.0

Update Route53 domains.

Roadtrip: Route53 domain updates for humans named Matt. At least it works for him. You might find it useful too.

Installation

With pip:

$ pip install roadtrip

With setuptools:

$ easy_install roadtrip

Using

You can use roadtrip to update a round-robin A record, adding a new value if it doesn’t already exist:

$ roadtrip --type A --zone example.com --name mycluster.example.com --value 1.2.3.4 --add

There is also a compact syntax for each option:

$ roadtrip -t A -z example.com -n mycluster.example.com -v 1.2.3.4 -a

You can also remove a value from a list:

$ roadtrip --type A --zone example.com --name mycluster.example.com --value 1.2.3.4 --delete

You can also get help:

$ roadtrip -h

You can set a non-default TTL value with --ttl and enable verbose output with --verbose.

Roadtrip will use the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables if they are set. You can provide these values yourself or override the environment variables by providing --access-key and --secret-key.

Under the hood

Roadtrip will do its best not to add an entry that already exists or delete an entry that doesn’t. It uses UPSERT to update the values based on the values that exist when you call it.

Warning

Due to the nature of eventual consistency there is a chance that the values that roadtrip sees when it is run are different than the values stored in Route53. ROADTRIP MIGHT HELP YOU LOSE DATA if you are not careful. Please be careful.
