Requirements

Platforms

  • All platforms supported by Chef

Chef

  • Chef 12.7+

Cookbooks

  • none

A Dynect account.

The dynect_rest gem. The dynect::default recipe installs this gem from http://rubygems.org

Attributes

The following attributes need to be set for the cookbook to function. Note: These are rather sensitive attributes so it's advised that you store these in a secure location such as an encrypted databag and set them via a wrapper cookbook.

  • node['dynect']['customer'] - Customer ID
  • node['dynect']['username'] - Username
  • node['dynect']['password'] - Password
  • node['dynect']['zone']- Zone
  • node['dynect']['domain'] - Domain

EC2 specific attributes:

  • node['dynect']['ec2']['type'] - type of system, web, db, etc. Default is 'ec2'.
  • node['dynect']['ec2']['env'] - logical application environment the system is in. Default is 'prod'.

Resources

rr

DNS Resource Record.

Actions:

Applies to the DNS record being managed.

  • :create
  • :replace
  • :update
  • :delete

Properties:

  • record_type - DNS record type (CNAME, A, etc)
  • rdata - record data, see the Dyn API documentation.
  • ttl - time to live in seconds
  • fqdn - fully qualified domain name
  • username - dyn username
  • password - dyn password
  • customer - dyn customer id
  • zone - DNS zone

None of the properties have default values.

Example:

dynect_rr "webprod" do
    record_type "A"
    rdata({"address" => "10.1.1.10"})
    fqdn "webprod.#{node['dynect']['domain']}"
    customer node['dynect']['customer']
    username node['dynect']['username']
    password node['dynect']['password']
    zone     node['dynect']['zone']
end

Recipes

This cookbook provides the following recipes.

default

The default recipe installs Adam Jacob's dynect_rest gem during the Chef run's compile time to ensure it is available in the same run as utilizing the dynect_rr resource/provider.

ec2

Only use this recipe on Amazon AWS EC2 hosts!

The dynect::ec2 recipe provides an example of working with the Dyn API with EC2 instances. It creates CNAME records based on the EC2 instance ID (node['ec2']['instance_id']), and a constructed hostname from the dynect.ec2 attributes.

The recipe also edits /etc/resolv.conf to search compute-1.internal and the dynect.domain and use dynect.domain as the default domain, and it will set the nodes hostname per the DNS settings.

a_record

The dynect::a_record recipe will create an A record for the node using the detected hostname and IP address from ohai.
