Yet Another Route 53 Dynamic DNS Updater (YAR! DNS)

This Python script will allow you to update a specific 'A' record in Amazon Route 53 to either a specified IP address on the command line or the public facing IP of the host.

This will only work when there is an EXISTING 'A' record defined in a Route 53 zone/domain AND the record contains one and only one value.

Installation

(Tested on Fedora 20 with Python 2.7.5)

• Ensure the following modules are installed:

  • boto: Used to interface with Amazon AWS. pip install boto

• Copy the configuration sample to a new file. cp config.ini.sample config.ini

• Update the values in config.ini to their appropriate values

• Execute the command using python yardns.py -c config.ini
