Highway Patrol

A dynamic DNS enforcer for Amazon Route 53.

Very loosely based on a bash script by Will Warren.

It is recommended that you create an IAM user with minimal privileges, and use its access key for this script. A minimal policy is:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "Stmt1415657277000",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "route53:ChangeResourceRecordSets"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:route53:::hostedzone/${HOSTEDZONEID}"
      ]
    }
  ]
}
