route53copy, copies resource records between two AWS Route53 accounts

route53copy copies resource records from one AWS account to another (or inside the same account). It creates a ChangeResourceRecordSet with UPSERT for all ResourceRecords of the source account and sends it to the destination account.

The top-level SOA and NS are not included in the change set since they should already exist in the destination account.

The destination domain must already exist in the destination account and AWS Named Profiles must be configured for both the source account and the destination account.
