Route 53 archivos

The terraform import command allows you to import into HashiCorp Terraform resources that already existed previously in the provider we are working with, in this case AWS. However, it only allows you to import those records one by one, with one run of terraform import at a time. This, apart from being extremely tedious, in some situations becomes impractical. This is the case for the records of a Route53 DNS zone. The task can become unmanageable if we have multiple DNS zones, each one with tens or hundreds of records. In this article I offer you a bash script that will allow you to import in Terraform all the records of a Route53 DNS zone in a matter of seconds or a few minutes.

One of the main needs of a small business or startup is to have a reliable mail system with its own domain that helps differentiate on the Internet. Although there are lots of hosting plans offering free email accounts and even you could set up your own mail server, you are probably already used to mail services like GMail and would like to continue using it to also manage mail from your own domain without having to come to paid solutions such as G Suite (formerly Google Apps), which though inexpensive for the services you get in return, they represent an additional cost that your incipient project might not afford.

If this is your case you will be happy to know that thanks to the free tier offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in some of its services such as Amazon SES and Lambda, you can build a mail system at no cost that integrates seamlessly with your GMail free account, and at the same time allows you to send and receive mail from multiple mailboxes within your own domain.
