Pipeline: 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(object({
      title   = string
      name    = string
      region  = string
      zone_id = string
      type    = string
      records = list(string)
      conn    = string
    }))>'

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(object({
      title   = string
      name    = string
      region  = string
      zone_id = string
      type    = string
      records = list(string)
      conn    = string
    }))>
  }
}
