AWS Route 53 DNS Provider

This is a drop-in provider for apnscp to enable DNS support for accounts that use AWS. This provider is built into apnscp.

Configuring

EditDomain -c dns,provider=aws -c dns,key='[key:ABCDEF123,secret:AbCdEf12345]' domain.com

Where the key is created within AWS. Your API key is available within your AWS IAM Console. See also Managing Access Keys for Your AWS Account Root User.

Configurables

key: IAM key
secret: IAM secret
region: AWS region. Refer to Regions and Availability Zones

Setting as default

AWS may be configured as the default provider for all sites using the dns.default-provider Scope. When adding a site in Nexus or AddDomain the key will be replaced with "DEFAULT". This is substituted automatically on account creation.

cpcmd config_set dns.default-provider aws
cpcmd config_set dns.default-provider-key '[key:ABCDEF123,secret:abCdEf12345]'

Note that it is not safe to set this value as a server-wide default in untrusted multiuser environments. A user with panel access can retrieve your key common_get_service_value dns key or even using Javascript in the panel, apnscp.cmd('common_get_service_value',['dns','key'], {async: false}).

Components

Module- overrides Dns_Module behavior
Validator- service validator, checks input with AddDomain/EditDomain helpers

Minimal module methods

All module methods can be overwritten. The following are the bare minimum that are overwritten for this DNS provider to work:

atomicUpdate() attempts a record modification, which must retain the original record if it fails
zoneAxfr() returns all DNS records
add_record() add a DNS record
remove_record() removes a DNS record
get_hosting_nameservers() returns nameservers for the DNS provider
add_zone_backend() creates DNS zone
remove_zone_backend() removes a DNS zone
