Notes
If you’re like us and have been managing your own DNS for a while, you’ve probably grown use to making changes to zone files and running “rndc reload”. Well, we’ve transitioned to using Amazon’s Route 53 DNS service which allows us to leave the nameserving up to Amazon’s global presence of nameservers.
Transitioning to Route 53 is a little bit tricky, especially for existing domains/zones. So we put together a script to make it easier to sync your BIND-style zone files to an AWS zone.
There are a few other similar utilities out there, including ones that Amazon directly references on the Route 53 developer page, but none of them really fit the bill for what we needed.
Let us know what you think and if you see anything better out there.
