Correct Route53 records with lower TTL

Overview

Route53 records with a lower TTL result in more DNS queries being received and answered than those with a higher TTL, which in turn results in more costs - common approaches for a TTL are between 3600s (one hour) and 86,400s (one day).

This pipeline allows you to specify a collection of records with a lower TTL and then either send notifications or attempt to perform a predefined corrective action upon the collection.

Whilst it is possible to utilise this pipeline standalone, it is usually called from either:

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run aws_thrifty.pipeline.correct_route53_records_with_lower_ttl \
--arg 'items=<list of object>'

Use this pipeline

To call this pipeline from your pipeline, use a step:

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
pipeline = aws_thrifty.pipeline.correct_route53_records_with_lower_ttl
args = {
items = <list of object>
}
}
