This tool can be used to autogenerate ClouDNS records for CloudFormation resources like CloudFront distributions and API Gateway domains.
npm install cloudns-cloudformation-sync
CloudFormation export name must specify the resource type and record hostname as follows:
ClouDNS:CNAME:myhost:example:org
CloudFormation export value must specify the record value as-is (for instance, a distribution domain name):
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.cloudfront.net
The above example will generate the following record in the ClouDNS zone example.org:
myhost.example.org CNAME xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.cloudfront.net
Other resource types are also allowed (A, AAAA, ALIAS, etc).
Use the cloudns-cloudformation-sync command to synchronize ClouDNS records.
