Include this role in your plays, it is recommended that you use a similar directory structure for zone splitting. I recommend that you add a localhost and local entry to your hosts file. AWS roles/plays do not need to have a system target.

  vars_files:
    - "host_vars/aws/global_constants.yml" # use this for anything that's needed across all AWS regions/properties

    - "host_vars/aws/us/r53/service_constants.yml" # use this for R53 specific regional constants

• Does not yet support the creation/manipulation of zones (Ansible 2.0) (it will error out if you do not create the zone first).
• It will error out if the zone already exists with records, they need to be created by this role to continue to successfully be maintained by this role.
• Does not yet support private zones (within RFC1918 space in VPC) (Ansible 1.9)
• Does not yet support regional differences (Ansible 2.0)

• Does not yet support any operations around health checks.

• At the moment, it does not dynamically read the contents of the r53 directories. This is intentional but may change.
• Does not yet support ALIAS records (Ansible 1.9)
• Does not support any operations around dynamic facts for Route 53 (Ansible 2.0)

This role includes Travis CI tests.
