update-ip-route53

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

Please note that as part of this role, openssl, boto, and pyOpenSSL will be installed. If you are using CentOS/Red Hat, the role will install pip (requires EPEL) and then install boto and pyOpenSSL in a Python virtualenv instead because the packaged version of pyOpenSSL is not recent enough.

If you are not using this role on Debian/Ubuntu, CentOS/Red Hat, openssl, boto, and pyOpenSSL must be installed manually before using this role.

Requirements

Ansible 2.4+ is required for this role. This role also must be run by root or through sudo/become.
