DNS Alias
This project monitors one or more DNS records, resolves them to IP addresses, and if the list of records has changed it uses the API of a DNS hosting provider to update another record to match. It basically does the same thing as a Route53 "alias" record, except it can point to destinations not in AWS.
Why Would I Need That?
Marketing companies often want to host their work product at the zone apex, for example consoso.com, instead of on a sub-domain such as www.contoso.com. If the URL hosting the site were anywhere but the zone apex a CNAME would suffice, but CNAMEs cannot be used at a zone apex without re-directing the entire domain. This package allows IT departments to maintain operational control of their production DNS zones, while still meeting the needs of the marketing company.
