Create, update and delete DNS records and zones hosted at AWS.

AWS console and official CLI are both powerful, yet complicated. awdns is a simple CLI tool to ease the burden of administering Route53 DNS domains for the most popular DNS records (A, AAAA).

• List all zones
• List all records in a zone
• Add a record to a zone
• Delete records from a zone
• Terse Unix responses (default) or verbose JSON responses.

List all zones in the AWS account.
