cdbtoroute53

Convert a TinyDNS CDB, or the differences between two TinyDNS CDBs, to Amazon Route 53 ChangeResourceRecordSetsRequest XML.

USAGE

Install the following dependencies from CPAN:

Data::GUID Net::DNS CDB_File

Configure a secret file for dnscurl.pl called .aws-secrets

$ cat .aws-secrets
%awsSecretAccessKeys = (
    'mykeyname' => {
        id => 'foobar',
        key => 'changeme',
    },
);

$ chmod 600 .aws-secrets

Then run (assumes data.cdb is in current dir):

cdbtoroute53.pl --zonename example.com | dnscurl.pl -c -z Z123456

Use --help on each program for more options. For pretty-printed output, simply make sure that tidy is available on your path.

OTHER TOOLS

cli53 is a great tool for interacting with route53 from the command line. To create a new zone:

$ cli53 create example.com
HostedZone:
  ResourceRecordSetCount: 2
  CallerReference: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
  Config:
    Comment:
  Id: /hostedzone/Z123456
  Name: example.com.

  NameServers:
    - ns-1008.awsdns-62.net
    - ns-1319.awsdns-36.org
    - ns-1629.awsdns-11.co.uk
    - ns-247.awsdns-30.com

Then you can grab the zone id (Z123456 above) for the migration and update your nameservers once finished.
