update-ip-route53

This is an Ansible role that changes DNS records on Amazon's Route 53 (AWS) to update with your public IP address.

Please note that this role will install openssl, boto, and pyOpenSSL. If you're using CentOS or Red Hat, it will also install pip (which requires EPEL) and then install boto and pyOpenSSL in a Python virtual environment. This is because the version of pyOpenSSL included in the package is outdated.

If you're using Debian/Ubuntu or anything else, you will need to install openssl, boto, and pyOpenSSL manually before using this role.

Requirements

You need Ansible version 2.4 or higher to use this role. It must be run by the root user or with sudo.
