Terraform module for Route53 aliase

This is a terraform module that can be used to control an alias record on Route53.

Route53 suppors the Alias records, which are special records for some specific usages. That's why also in terraform they are handled a bit differently than other normal records, hence why this simple terraform module can be used.

Input variables

• domain - The domain registered in your Route53 Hosted Zone
• name - The name of the Route53 record
• alias_name - The domain name of the S3 bucket, CloudFront distribution etc.
• zone_id - The hosted zone id of the S3 bucket, CloudFront distribution etc.
• type - The type of the record (e.g. A, MX, CNAME..) (optional, default to "A")
• evaluate_target_health - If to evaluate the target health or not (optional, default to "false")

Usage

This is a short example on how you can use the module in a simple template file, e.g. main.tf.

module "alias-dns" {
    source = "github.com/fallertsen/terraform-module-aws-route53-alias"

    domain = "example.com"
    name = "example.com"
    alias_name = "s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com."
    zone_id = "ABCDE1234FGHIJ"
}

This would createa a new root record for the domain example.com that would be an alias to an S3 bucket.
