Component: dns-primary

This component is responsible for provisioning the primary DNS zones into an AWS account. By convention, we typically provision the primary DNS zones in the dns account. The primary account for branded zones (e.g. example.com), however, would be in the prod account, while staging zone (e.g. example.qa) might be in the staging account.

The zones from the primary DNS zone are then expected to be delegated to other accounts via the dns-delegated component. Additional, external records can be created on the primary DNS zones via the record_config variable.

Usage

Stack Level: Global

Here’s an example snippet for how to use this component. This component should only be applied once as the DNS zones it creates are global. This is typically done via the DNS stack (e.g. gbl-dns.yaml).

components:
  terraform:
    dns-primary:
      vars:
        domain_names:
          - example.net
        record_config:
          - root_zone: example.net
            name: ""
            type: A
            ttl: 60
            records:
              - 53.229.170.215
          - root_zone: example.net
            name: www
            type: CNAME
            ttl: 60
            records:
              - example.net

delimiter Delimiter to be used between namespace, environment, stage, name and attributes.Defaults to - (hyphen). Set to "" to use no delimiter at all. string null no
