Documentation

aws-route53

Route 53 hosted zone (public by default) plus a clean, map-driven set of records. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AWS provider >= 6.0, < 7.0. The fiddly bits are handled for you: record names are normalised to the zone (use a relative label, @ for the apex, or a full FQDN), and the alias-vs-rdata distinction is resolved so ttl/records are only sent for standard records and the alias block only for alias targets.

Secure / sensible defaults:

  • Public zone by default; supply vpc_ids to make it a private zone resolvable only inside those VPCs (DNS is inherently public, so there is no "encryption" knob — the meaningful control is public vs. private).
  • force_destroy = false by default so you never silently delete records that were created outside Terraform; the live-test fixture flips it to true for guaranteed teardown.
  • Standalone aws_route53_record resources via for_each (stable addressing, no count churn when the record map changes).
  • Inputs are validated: record type is checked against the allowed set, and each record must set exactly one of records (rdata) or alias.

Requirements

  • Terraform or OpenTofu >= 1.6
  • hashicorp/aws >= 6.0, < 7.0

Security notes

  • A public hosted zone is world-readable by design (anyone can query it). Use a private zone (vpc_ids) for internal-only names.
  • Keep force_destroy = false in production to avoid deleting records you did not provision through this module.
  • DNSSEC and query logging are out of scope for this module; enable them separately if your threat model requires signed responses or audit trails.
