route53 resource does not work well with wildcard '*'

[mario-bris]

What happened?

I am trying to create CNAME with wildcard so I do not have to explicitly create each route53 entry. E.g. I have DNS entry myproject.mycompany.com which is A type of record. I'd like to have wildcard DNS records (type of CNAME ) for apps (app1, app2, ...), e.g. *.myproject.mycompany.com however when I create such record via route53.aws.crossplane.io/v1alpha1 and kind ResourceRecordSet its state is READY: False. The same behaviour is for CNAME and A record.

test-dns                                 False   True     *.myproject.mycompany.com   CNAME      11m

However DNS entry is create in AWS but It's not deleted when I delete ResourceRecordSet resource.

How can we reproduce it?

You can use following manifest

apiVersion: route53.aws.crossplane.io/v1alpha1
kind: ResourceRecordSet
metadata:
  name: 'test-dns'
  annotations:
    crossplane.io/external-name: "*.myproject.mycompany.com"
spec:
  forProvider:
    type: A
    ttl: 300
    zoneId: <zoneId>
    resourceRecords:
    - value: 1.2.3.4
  providerConfigRef:
    name: default

What environment did it happen in?

Crossplane version: crossplane/provider-aws-controller:v0.22.0
Aws provider version: crossplane/crossplane:v1.5.1

I am facing the exact same problem. A CNAME wildcard recordset is going to be created, but will never be in READY: true state. Deletion of the crossplane resource won't delete the AWS resource.
