#
# This script converts existing Route53 records into Terraform HCL. I created
# this for a one-off job. The script uses the AWS CLI to fetch Route53 info,
# and prints the corresponding TF code to stdout.
#
# Example usage:
#
#   $ ./route53-to-tf.py Z01628355IFGP8944TLS > route53.tf
#   $ echo 'set -ex' > import.sh
#   $ grep '# $ terraform import' route53.tf | sed 's/^# $ //g' >> import.sh
#   $ sh import.sh
#
# Use at your own risk. Be very careful and double check the records after
# using the tool. Terraform and Route53 have some weird behaviour, specifically
# with TXT records and how they handle quotes.
#
# MAKE SURE IT'S RIGHT BEFORE RUNNING 'terraform apply'.
